Parent Involvement in Education From Kindergarten to High School

NCES Annual Reports

The NCES Annual Reports and Information program produces several reports each year that draw from over 25 surveys by NCES and other government agencies. Many of these reports include information on enrollment in public charter schools and private schools. The Digest of Education Statistics includes additional information on school choice and parent involvement.

Longitudinal Studies

NCES has a series of High School, Middle Grades, and Early Childhood longitudinal studies that track students’ development, achievement, and learning over time.

State Education Practices (School Choice)

This website provides an overview of state policies and practices across many areas of education, including policies on charter schools, which operate with varying degrees of independence from state education agencies in exchange for increased accountability for student performance.

Parent Involvement Toolkit

The Institute of Education Sciences Toolkit of Resources for Engaging Families and the Community as Partners in Education is a four-part resource that brings together research, promising practices, and useful tools and resources to guide educators in strengthening partnerships with families and community members to support student learning.
