Abstract

The aim of jthis study was to investigate the potential relationship between parental participation and academic success in middle school. Investigations were also conducted on the ethnic inequalities in the ;relationship between parental engagement and student accomplishment. The research compared parental engagement and academic success between groups in an ethnically and racially diverse school. In order to participate in the research, 41 teenagers and their parents had to answer questions on parental communication with the school and engagement in their kids' education. We examined the students' final science and English grades, as well as their MAP English scores, in addition to their survey replies. According to the study's findings, White parents were the most active in their kids' education and White children scored better academically than their Southeast Asian and South Asian counterparts. The Pearson correlation test is used to determine the positive association between parental involvement and student progress. Parental engagement takes the form of signing weekly grade reports, phoning the school (r =.586, p =.01), or receiving a call from the school (r =.479, p =.01). The Pearson correlation between academic performance and grades (r =.054 for signing weekly grade reports and reading school notes, emails, and texts) did not show a significant relationship between parental participation and academic success.
