Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was a difference in perceptions between junior high school students and their parents regarding the level of parental involvement in their child's education using Goulet’s Student-Rated Parent School Involvement Questionnaire (SR-PSIQ). It was to educate them about the positive effects that their child’s education has, as well as the negative ones. Educational achievement is built by a team of members from the school district and the guardian working together for the child’s best interests. The study included Jersey Junior High Independent School District participants in Jersey, Texas, and Lizard Hill School District participants in Lizard Hill, Arkansas. A student-rated parental school involvement questionnaire was given to the students, and a parent-rated school involvement questionnaire was given to the parents. These responses were rated on a response scale of 1 = totally disagree, 2 = somewhat disagree, 3 = somewhat agree, and 4 = totally agree. They were categorized based on parental expectations, parent-child-teacher communication, homework support, and school-based involvement.
