The M\u00b3 Milwaukee Parent Institute (MPI) is a proven program that equips Milwaukee Public Schools elementary, middle and high school families with the knowledge and skills to help their students graduate and prepare for higher education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through a six-week program offered both in-person and virtually at schools throughout the district, families learn how to plan for college and a career, develop behaviors for success, select high school courses to prepare for higher education, and explore career fields. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By expanding from two sessions in the first \u201cbaseline\u201d semester in fall 2021, the Milwaukee Parent Institute has continued to grow its reach, hosting 69 sessions through Fall 2025, with 1,422 parents participating and 478 completing the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program was developed by the Parent Institute for Quality Education (PIQE), which engages, empowers and transforms families by providing the knowledge and skills to partner with schools and communities to ensure their students achieve their full potential. PIQE uses documented research studies that validate the efficacy of the programs and the impact on student achievement such as grade point averages and graduation rates. At the conclusion of each session, families and students celebrate their completion of the program. Feedback from participants has been overwhelmingly positive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
