q2 · i? · associational · r2

Descriptive results from the eleven-item student scale on parents' involvement in students' learning, covering encouragement, homework help, and talk about school and grades. In bottom quartile schools the largest group, about 45 percent, report limited support from parents.

"More than one in every six students in the top quartile schools report a great deal of support from parents (scores of 9-10). Nearly 50 percent of the students in these schools report moderate support (scores of 6-8). Thus, two-thirds of the students fall in these top two categories."

Related Claims¶

• Parental support for student learning is substantially higher in top-quartile schools than in bottom-quartile schools — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• Mistrust between teachers and parents remained a low-level roadblock in 2017, while lack of parental support had grown as a top roadblock for almost one-third of administrators — related
