There is an imminent urgency in public education. The state and federal government increased the requirements necessary for high school graduation. Thus, the challenge for school districts is identifying factors which positively impact levels of student achievement, student satisfaction with school, student connection to school, and the number of students graduating from high school. This research analyzed the relationship between parental involvement in the education of middle-school students and the student's satisfaction with school. By understanding the impact of the members of the residence of a student, and parental involvement on student satisfaction with school, school districts can develop effective parental-involvement programs to positively impact levels of students' satisfaction with school. Students at one Midwest middle school completed a survey employing questions from the Student Satisfaction Survey (SSS) and an individual data sheet (IDS). The SSS determined student satisfaction with school, while the IDS provided demographic information and levels of satisfaction with parental involvement from participants. Quantitative statistical techniques determined a relationship exists between parental involvement in the education of middle-school students and the students'satisfaction with school. Additionally, this research found a statistically significant direct relationship between the residence of a student and satisfaction with school-related activities.
