By the very nature of living in poverty, these children are five times more likely to drop out of school, which can lead toward dangerous personal and societal outcomes.
Today, high school dropouts account for 80% of the prison population – this is a serious issue.
YOU can change that! You can provide opportunities for educational and lifetime success, breaking generational chains of poverty. Join the Community Partnership Schools movement and transform the future for generations.
Children’s Home Society of Florida – along with our co-founding and strategic partner the University of Central Florida – is helping reduce poverty in children through education by convening nearly 50 key partners, including school districts, health care centers, universities and more, to make 25-year+ commitments to address these critical issues affecting success – in the classroom and beyond.
Graduation rates have increased by an average of 30% statewide at our 7 high schools.
89% of students participating in the Acceleration Program - a program to support students behind their peers academically - at Howard Bishop Middle, A Community Partnership School successfully completed middle school in two years and are back on track with their peers.
At C.A. Weis Elementary, A Community Partnership School, discipline referrals decreased by more than 90% and out-of-school suspensions by nearly 94% within just four years after adopting the model.

Thousands of Florida students arrive to school each day with more than a backpack – they carry baggage beyond their years: hunger, homelessness, poverty, exposure to violence, mental health struggles, inadequate health care and more. They carry so much weight that they simply cannot focus on their education.
Often times, these students and their families simply lack access to the opportunities their neighbors and peers may have. For these students, it’s not about raising the ceiling — it’s about raising the ground floor.
Enter: the Community Partnership Schools™ model.
Our goal at Children’s Home Society of Florida is to end the need for foster care as we know it by working with children and families before crises occur.
Did you know nearly 75% of children enter the foster care system because of neglect, which often stems from fixable family issues like poverty, addiction and domestic violence?
When we reach families before these challenges turn into crises, more families can remain safe, strong and together … and children in our communities will have more chances to thrive.
At CHS, everything we do is designed to empower children, families and individuals to find – and pursue – opportunities for success and happiness.
