This report presents data on students in the United States attending kindergarten through grade 12. The focus of the report is on parent and family involvement in the students' education during the 2018-19 school year, as reported by the students' parents. It includes the percentage of students who participated in selected family activities. Demographic information about students and families is presented, including students' poverty status and parents' education and language spoken at home, as well as school characteristics, such as school size and school type. These data represent circumstances before the implementation of coronavirus pandemic restrictions. The data for this report come from the Parent and Family Involvement in Education (PFI) Survey, administered as part of the 2019 National Household Education Surveys Program (NHES:2019). When weighted, the PFI data in this report are nationally representative of the nonhomeschooling population of students in grades kindergarten through 12, including children enrolled in public, private, and virtual schools. The total number of cases used in this report is 15,950 students, representing a population of 51.5 million nonhomeschooled students in kindergarten through grade 12. This "First Look" report presents selected descriptive information. The variables examined in this report are just a few of the variables that can be examined in these data; they were selected to demonstrate the range of information available from the study. The release of this report is intended to encourage in-depth analysis of the data using more sophisticated statistical methods. [For "Parent and Family Involvement in Education: 2019.
