The article focuses on the review of practical literature regarding family involvement and family-school partnerships in rural schools and the influence those positive relationships may have on the academic achievement of the student. To determine the influence of family participation would have on student achievement among families living in rural areas, multiple research methods were used while ensuing 18 studies for the review, including casual- comparative, quasi-experimental, experimental design, and qualitative research. The purpose of this research was to validate literature on family-school connections in rural education. The questions posed by researchers in the article with attempts at achieving a hypothesis

A total of 18 articles related to previous studies were utilized for the current research, with all studies referenced occurring after the year 2000. Family-school partnership studies implicated for the article were limited to the last 15 years with the purpose of summarizing the most current, available research.
A variety of procedures were used to locate reviews and journals for this research study.
Specifically, search procedures that were executed included searches of computer data-bases, select journals, and references cited in relevant articles. A computer aided search was executed and completed for the electronic data-bases of PsychInfo; Academic Search Premier; and
Education: A SAGE Full-Text Collection for studies and research conducted from 1995-2010. In addition to the use of computer-aided searches, researchers conducted a hand search of the
Journal of Research in Education (JRRE) to identify relevant articles that met the established parameters within the search. Critique validity was performed by researchers using internal validity …show more content…
Coding methods were established on search and random sampling techniques to determine if information was definition or descriptive while the specificity of the data was pertinent to parent involvement in the education process of rural
America.
Results and conclusions of the study determined that research of family-school connections in rural communities and the overall impact it has relevant to increasing student achievement is limited to the 18 published studies containing a variety of methodologies, designs, improvement goals, and research questions, therefore, presenting challenges and obstacles while summarizing feelings resulting in widespread, inconsistent conclusions. With a thorough review of prior research, it is premature to formulate a hypothesis.
A general consensus of the 18 studies used suggests development and implementation of intervention programs focusing on enhancing family-school partnerships, establishing collaborative partnerships between teachers and parents, and implementation of literacy programs in the rural setting, placing emphasis on academic preparedness and lifelong
