DESCRIPTION:Jamie Gracie\n\nWhen Resources Meet Relationships: The Returns 
 to Personalized Supports for Low-Income Students\n\nAbstract:  Children fr
 om low-income families face persistent educational and economic disadvanta
 ges. This paper studies Communities In Schools (CIS)\, a program that plac
 es coordinators in high-poverty schools to connect struggling students wit
 h personalized support. CIS is the largest program of its kind in the US\,
  reaching 2 million students each year—nearly three times the size of He
 ad Start—and\, unlike most programs of this scale\, is funded largely by
  private philanthropy and local governments. Using the staggered rollout o
 f CIS\, we find that the program boosts test scores for struggling student
 s\, and that these improvements persist\, ultimately increasing high-schoo
 l completion and adult earnings. These long-run effects can be closely for
 ecast from changes in short-run outcomes\, with non-cognitive measures pla
 ying a central role. CIS emphasizes personalization as a core feature of i
 ts model\, and our results are consistent with this claim: coordinators ta
 ilor services to distinct student needs\, yet students with different need
 s still see similarly large long-run gains. CIS delivers returns that comp
 are favorably to other major education interventions\, such as class-size 
 reductions.
