| Abstract | This study examines aspects of parental involvement that lead to student academic achievement. This study will provide schools and districts with objective data that will allow stakeholders to identify specific and effective strategies to increase parental involvement. The researcher explores the social capital theory, cultural capital theory, social reproduction theory and Joyce Epstein’s model of the six domains of parental involvement. Using a qualitative approach, the researcher investigates the correlation between parental involvement and student achievement, as well as the impact of parental involvement on student achievement. Findings indicate that identifying organizational barriers, identifying possible effective strategies to overcome the organizational barriers, and establishing an effective and collaborative partnership between school and home has a great impact on parental involvement, and may lead to an increase in student achievement. Implications for all stakeholders and recommendations for future research are offered. |
