Mexican-American and Anglo-American Parental Involvement with a Public Elementary School: An Exploratory Study

Western New Mexico University

Parents of children attending a K-3 elementary school in New Mexico were surveyed in order to examine Mexican-American andAnglo-American parental involvement in the school. Two hundred and eight parents were contacted. Those parents who did not return the first questionnaire were provided with a second questionnaire. Twenty-four Anglo-Americans, 19 Mexican-Americans, I African-American, and 6 individuals who did not identify their ethnic affiliation completed the questionnaire. The most frequent type of involvement in the school, as reported by both Anglo-American and Mexican-American respondents, was conferring with teachers. Interest in their child's success motivated both groups most frequently. Implications of parental responses are discussed.
