The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated health and wellness disparities, food insecurity, housing challenges, and  \nthe digital divide. Our country is poised to confront its history of racial inequity and perhaps start to think about education reform as something not done “to” kids, but something that entire communities, especially those that are the most disenfranchised, can make decisions about together.  \nCommunity schools are an example of a comprehensive education reform initiative that brings communities together to address many of the pressing challenges facing education today.1  \nEmily Lubin Woods serves as head of education for the Richard K. Lubin Family Foundation. Previously, she was a teacher with the Boston Public Schools (BPS) and senior co-trainer in the BPS New Teacher Development Program.

Open to the community during evenings, weekends, and summers, these schools work with families, students, teachers, and local organizationsto identify and coordinate health and social services and to become centers ofthe community. In this article, I briefly review the research supporting community schools, then turn to the most critical factors for creating sustainable community schools. I also underscore community schools as an equity strategy, focusing on community-based problem solving, drawing on local strengths to address local needs, and engaging in a thorough planning process that ensures shared decision making.  \nThe Case for Community Schools  \nThere is a small but growing number of noteworthy studies that illustrate many of community schools’ positive outcomes. These studies include evaluations conducted by Fordham University and ActKnowledge in the 1990s,2 a 2017 landmark study out of the Learning Policy Institute and the National Education Policy Center (LPI-NEPC),3 and a 2020 study by the RAND Corp.4  \nThese studies found improved outcomes in areas such as attendance; chronic absenteeism; high school graduation rates;  \n18 AMERICAN EDUCATOR | SUMMER 2023  \nperceptions of school climate by teachers, parents, and students; and reductions in disciplinary incidents. Gains in academic performance were more nuanced, but the 2017 LPI-NEPC study concluded that well-implemented hub schools reduce barriers to learning and help at-risk students succeed academically.5 Furthermore, LPI-NEPC researchers concluded that “Ample evidence is available to inform and guide policymakers, educators, and advocates interested in advancing community schools, and sufficient research exists to meet the ESSA [Every Student Succeeds Act] standard for an evidence-based intervention.”6  \nThese studies, along with the work of policy analysts, have also revealed an important emphasis on equity. As deftly explained by Christopher Edley Jr. and Linda Darling-Hammond of the Learning Policy Institute,  \nThe promise of community schools is in how they prioritize the education and enrichment of vulnerable students and how they integrate services with systems of governance, professional support, and ongoing community-level dialogue. Comprehensive community schools represent a powerful equity strategy because they are designed to identify and address inequitable practices, disrupt the systems that perpetuate educationaland economic disparities, and increase opportunities for all through partnerships among all of the actors who shape children’s opportunities.
