During the 2016-2017 school year, the Houston Independent School District (HISD) Family and Community Empowerment (FACE) Department implemented a parent engagement program for 5,281 students enrolled at nine participating campuses. This evaluation examined the relationships between parents' attendance at APTT program group meetings and students' academic achievement during the 2016-2017 school year, and described HISD parents' experiences with the Academic Parent-Teacher Teams [APTT] program. Students' academic achievement in language arts and reading were measured on the Iowa Assessments, Logramos 3rd Edition Norm Reference Test, and the 2017 spring STAAR reading assessments. Findings indicated that a positive relationship may exist between parent attendance and the academic achievement of young children. Further, parents identified learning about their child's progress and strategies on how to help them at home as the greatest benefits of the program. Areas of need indicated by parents included having the school provide materials and books to support learning at home, offering more APTT meetings at varying times during the year, as well as parents taking more responsibility to support learning at home.
