Through College Is Possible
partnering colleges and universities, the American Council on Education
(ACE) supports strengthening the involvement of parents and families in
their children’s education, and strives to foster relationships
between higher education, home, school, and the community that enhance
the success of students at all educational levels.
Recent evidence from the National Education Association
(NEA) indicates that family is critical to student achievement.
Students with involved parents—no matter what their income or
background—are more likely than those without involve parents to
have good attendance records, perform better in class and on tests,
enroll in more challenging classes, have fewer social problems,
graduate, and go to college.
This section of the College Is Possible site focuses on
some exemplary programs that support parental involvement.
