Eva Eagle conducted a study with five parts over the background of students and home life. One of the five parts involved looking at parent and student involvement. The following was part of her findings.
Eagle, Eva. Socioeconomic Status, Family Structure, and Parental
Involvement: The Correlates of Achievement. Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association (San Francisco, CA, March 27-31, 1989).
“Parental involvement in students' education was especially related to educational attainment. Students whose parents read to them frequently during childhood had higher levels of attainment by 1986: 21% among those with daily reading experiences compared to 14%among those with rare reading experiences.13Similarly, students who reported having a special place to study during high school were more likely to have enrolled in postsecondary education and to have completed four-year degrees. Most consistently related to educational attainment was parental involvement during high school. Figure 2 compares the educational attainment of students who experienced various levels of parental involvement during high school. Fully 80% of those whose parents were highly involved had enrolled in some form of postsecondary education by 1986, and 27% had received four-year degrees. In contrast, 57%of those with low involvement parents had enrolled and only eight percent had received degrees.”
