A Meta-Analysis of the Relation of Parental Involvement to Urban Elementary School Student Academic Achievement

William H. Jeynes

California State University at Long Beach

This meta-analysis of 41 studies examines the relationship between parental involvement and the academic achievement of urban elementary school children. Analyses determined the effect sizes for parental involvement overall and subcategories of involvement. Results indicate a significant relationship between parental involvement overall and academic achievement. Parental involvement, as a whole, was associated with all the academic variables by about 0.7 to 0.75 of a standard deviation unit. This relationship held for White and minority children and also for boys and girls. The significance of these results is discussed.

Key Words: academic achievement • education • urban • meta-analysis • parental involvement
