Each year approximately 400 freshmen enter Glenn Hills High School. The acceptable practice is that all teachers review the records of incoming students to get a better understanding of their prior work performance and try to understand the students' strengths and weaknesses. Oftentimes the Lexile scores outlined in the permanent records and the students' performance in class are not balanced. It is unclear of the cause of the misalignment. Some students cite less restraints from parents, some students admit to studying less, while others elude to demands of extracurricular activities. Each student had varying causes for their poor academic performance but some type of reduced parental influence seemed to be the undertone of each answer. Effect of Parental Involvement and High School Students' Achievement
