Abstract | Parental involvement is the key to a student's overall success academically and athletically. When parents or caregivers engage with the school in-person or reiterate the mission of the district at home, students are more likely to achieve. However, parental involvement often decreases as children enter high school or parents/caregivers place unrealistic expectations on their child leading to low performance. The purpose of this QUAN-QUAL descriptive study was to identify the relationship between the parent and/or caregiver's highest level of academic and athletic achievement and the expectations placed on children both academically and athletically. Also, the study aimed to identify the ways that parents/caregivers involved themselves in their child's academics and athletic events. This information is critical for school administrators for planning purposes for parental involvement events. All of the data were collected utilizing a questionnaire along and semi-structured interviews. The results indicated a relationship between the ways parents/caregivers are involved and the motivation for their manner of involvement. The data were conclusive that parents/caregivers are involved more athletically than academically. Also, parents, students, and schools share responsibility for student achievement. Parents/caregivers are responsible for ethical and moral teaching; students are responsible for studying and homework completion. Lastly, schools are responsible for communication and providing opportunities for students. The qualitative data collected formulated the following themes: academic support, providing opportunity to excel, attendance at competitions, life skills transcends into a profession, and schedule conflicts. Based on the findings and a review of the relevant literature, parents/caregivers are involved in their child's academics and athletics as they deem necessary for their child's individual needs; however, the study revealed that a student's athletic events yielded more parental involvement.
