According to the Michigan Department of Education, parental involvement results in more positive behavior, such as improved attendance and class participation, and significant decrease in suspension rates, violent behavior and drug or alcohol use.
Parents' concern and involvement in their child's education can result in students having better self-esteem, better grades, higher test scores and an increase in graduation rates, regardless of the students' socioeconomic status, background or other factors.
According to Edutopia, "Schools that work well with families have better teacher morale and higher ratings of teachers by parents," and "school programs that involve parents outperform identical programs without parent and family involvement."
