Table 2. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) of Family Engagement by Parent Education Level
| Education Level | Mean Engagement | F-value |
| High School or Less | 6.71 | 0.05 |
| Some College | 7.34 | |
| College and More | 6.75 |
The dependent variable for this ANOVA was engagement of the child. This was asked on a 0-10 scale. The independent variable for this ANOVA was the education level of the parent. Respondents chose between the following categories: “Some high school”, “High school diploma or GED”, “Certification from a trade or vocational school”, “Some college”, “Associate’s degree”, “Bachelor’s degree”, and “Graduate degree or more”. The variables were re-coded into three groups. “Some high school” and “High school diploma or GED” became “High School or Less”. “Certification from a trade or vocational school”, “Some college”, and “Associate’s degree” became “Some College”. “Bachelor’s degree” and “Graduate degree or more” became “College or More”. The mean engagement for “High School or Less” was 6.71 out of 10. The mean engagement for “Some College” was 7.34 out of 10. Finally, the mean engagement for “College or More” was 6.75 out of 10. According to the ANOVA results (F=0.05), there is no significant difference between these means. Therefore, the education level of the parent does not influence family engagement.
