Using a quantitative study the researchers examined perceptions regarding school climate of parents with children who attend urban schools, based on several dimensions: quality of the instructional program, support for learning, school climate/environment for learning, parent/school relationships, and resource management. Of the 150 administered surveys by the National Study of School Evaluation NSSE (2004) Parent Opinion Inventory, 116 or 77.3% were returned. Descriptive statistics were used to report findings. Results showed high levels of agreement with parents on most dimensions; however, the lowest level was resource management. In conclusion, although the dimensions regarding school climate were perceived as favorable, student achievement data and conditions that typically characterize urban schools indicate continuous improvements are needed. Recommendations for such improvements include providing additional funding and educational opportunities for children attending urban schools.
