Class of 2019

What does it take to succeed in high school?

The research tells us:• Parent involvement in young adolescent students' transition from middle to high

school is critical.

• When parents are involved in students' transition to high school, they tend to stay involved in their child's school experiences.

• When parents are involved in their child's high school experiences, students achieve more; are better adjusted, and are less likely to drop out of school.

• The concern for educators is that, typically, parent involvement in young adolescents' school related activities decreases during the transition from middle school to high school.
