Abstract	The purpose of this study is to determine how home visits conducted by teachers from a diverse, urban high school impacted student success and relationships between parents and teachers. Participants were high school teachers who were invited to conduct home visits for rising ninth graders and the students visited at home. In this mixed methods design, attendance and graduation data were collected for students participating in home visits, surveys were administered to eligible teachers and staff, and semi-structured interviews were subsequently conducted with seven home visiting teachers. Data over five years reveals the chronic absenteeism rate was lower for students visited at home (4%) compared to the whole cohort. The graduation rate for students visited at home at this site was also higher (3.7%) than the rate for the whole graduating class. Surveys and interviews indicate teachers who visited students at home were more likely than non-home visiting teachers to report positive relationships with and support from parents. Home visiting teachers also met with parents more in person, and, more than non-home visiting teachers, they believed parents welcome home visits. (As Provided).
