It is our belief that parental interest and guidance are the most effective predictors of school success. In point of fact, reserach has shown that students with the most involved parents have better school performance than students whose parents do not take an active interest in the child's school activities, regardless of the educational level of the parents. in other words, it does not necessarily take an educated parent to produce an educated child, but it does take a parent who is actively involved in that child's school and who supports and encourages the efforts of the school personnel when the child is in the home environment.
