<p>The purpose of this study was to validate the Family Involvement Questionnaire (FIQ) for use in high school settings (9<sup>th</sup>-12<sup>th</sup> grade). After the FIQ was redesigned for use in the high school setting, 519 parents completed the questionnaire online. Internal consistency was for the 40-item questionnaire was high (α = 0.93).

Family demographics were compared to participant responses, and significant effects of students’ school and special education status were found.</p>
