Abstract | This report summarizes findings of a national telephone survey of 1,032 parents of children in grades Kindergarten through 6, supplementary interviews among 375 parents, and focus-group discussions among parents. Included among the sample were African-American, Latino, Asian-American, and White parents. Several findings are elaborated: (1) parents consider themselves to be deeply involved in their children's education as defined by school-related activities in the home; (2) parents consider educational involvement in the home as more important than activities at their child's school; (3) regardless of income, race, or educational level, parents recognize the value of being involved in their child's education; (4) time, rather than logistical problems such as transportation, is the most significant barrier to greater parental involvement; (5) parents involve themselves most deeply when they see a clear and direct link between their involvement and their child's benefit; (6) the level of parental involvement declines noticeably as children grow older; and (7) parents think it is important to have a voice in making school policy, but they are wary about involvement in administrative decisions. Statistical findings indicate that at-home involvement is more important than at-school involvement, extent of family involvement, involvement in activities with clear benefits to their children, barriers to greater involvement, attitudes toward educational issues, and satisfaction with their child's schooling.
