Benefits of Parent InvolvementResearch indicates that the most accurate predictor of a student’s achievement in school is not income or social status, but the extent the student’s family is able to:
1. Create a home environment that encourages learning.
2. Express high and realistic expectations for their children’s achievement and future careers.3. Become involved in their children’s education at school and in the community.
