Description
Across the world, parent involvement has shown to be a consistent link to improving student performance in primary and secondary education (Cotton and Wikelund, 1989). Unfortunately, we do not yet have a complete understanding of how involved parents are, how different rates of involvement affect grades, and what external factors are linked to increasing parent involvement. Data from the Parental and Family Involvement in Education survey, provided by the United States Census Bureau, United States Department of Education, and National Center for Education Statistics, was used to examine the distribution of family involvement in the United States and the impact that it has had on student’s grades. Ordinal logistic models predicted a significant correlation between different forms of parent involvement (i.e., telling your child a story, creating arts and crafts with the child, participating in school board meetings, etc.) and student grades, as well as a significant correlation between student grades and parents receiving direct contact by the school district (i.e., receiving voice memos addressed to all parents and receiving child specific updates).
