The relationship between education and involvement in school among Mexican-American parents was examined. Self-reports were collected from 396 Mexican-American parents of children attending an elementary school in Texas. 136 parents with 12 or more years of education indicated they participated with fundraising and attended school-sponsored functions more than did 260 parents with eleven years of education and less. The latter parents reported serving as room mother, helping their children with homework, and attending parent-teacher conferences more than did parents with more education. Findings suggest parental education may be related to the types of school activities in which Mexican-American parents participate
