[Lesley Farmer]

Study: Parents make the difference in performancePoor students who
attend private and parochial schools scored about the same as their

This study suggests that parental participation and other family
characteristics account for differences in performance among poor
students. Wenglinsky, H. (2007). Are Private High Schools Better
