Schools with well-structured, consistent, strong parent involvement programs experience profound benefits for students, parents, teachers, administrators, and overall school quality. Research shows that when parents are involved, students have
- higher grades, test scores, and graduation rates

- more consistently completed homework
- increased motivation, better self-esteem
- lower rates of suspension
- decreased use of alcohol and other drugs
- fewer instances of violent behavior
