A nine-item questionnaire and student grades in English and Mathematics were used to collect the data. The results showed that there was a negative correlation between student achievement and help with homework, a positive, slight correlation between student achievement and discussions about school, and a positive, strong relationship between student achievement and parent education level. The negative correlation may have been because poor student performance resulted in parent involvement. The two positive results were weaker than expected, possibly because the research was conducted at a private school rather than at public schools UR - http://olibnew.haigazian.edu.lb/olibcgi?infile=details.glu&loid=60001&rs=113034&hitno=3 ER -
