Okpala, Comfort O.; Okpala, Amon O.; Smith, Frederick E.
Journal of Educational Research, v95 n2 p110-15 Nov-Dec 2001
Investigated the influence of parent involvement, parent socioeconomic status, and instructional supplies expenditures on the mathematics achievement of fourth graders in a low-income North Carolina county. Data analysis indicated that instructional supplies expenditures per pupil and parental volunteer hours were not statistically significant in explaining test scores. Low income negatively related to students' academic performance in mathematics. (SM)
