Our Story, Our Mission

CIS of Nevada is one of 26 state offices in a national network with more than 45 years of experience implementing our evidence-based solution for 1.7 million students.

In 2020-2021, CIS of Nevada celebrated a K-12 promotion rate of 96% and our statewide high school graduation rate of 92%.
