Not to sound curt, but have you stepped into a high school recently? Or read any of the state-mandated curriculum frameworks that teachers are obliged to teach to?
There are also several studies that show that parental involvement is not an indicator of student success - that in fact, parental involvement usually is more indicative of the property tax revenues in a particular city/town and it is the revenues and school leadership that have the biggest impact -- if you want more info on this google "paternalistic education" and you'll find a slew on that methodology.
