This report presents data on students in the United States in kindergarten through grade 12 in a physical or virtual school or are homeschooled for equivalent grades. The focus of the report is on parent and family involvement in the students' education during the 2022-2023 school year, as reported by the students' parents or guardians. 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 after the termination of most COVID-19 pandemic safety measures limiting in-person group activities. The data for this report come from the Parent and Family Involvement in Education (PFI) Survey, administered as part of the 2023 National Household Education Surveys Program (NHES:2023). The PFI survey collects data about students who are enrolled in kindergarten through grade 12 in a physical or virtual school or are homeschooled for equivalent grades and asks questions about various aspects of parent involvement in education, such as help with homework, family activities, and parent involvement at school. For homeschooled students, the survey asks questions related to students' homeschooling experiences, subject of classes taught, and the reasons for homeschooling. For students taking virtual courses, the survey asks about parents' reasons for choosing virtual schooling, the cost, and the amount of time each week the student takes virtual courses. The PFI questionnaires were completed by a parent or guardian who knew about the sampled child. This report begins with selected findings, followed by estimate tables and their associated standard error tables, and concludes with Technical Notes and a Glossary of Terms.
