Abstract: The purpose of this dissertation was to provide teachers, principals, district administrators, and local, state, and national legislators with an understanding of what the perception is of Hispanic American Immigrant parents regarding their access to parental engagement and agency through the American public school system, specifically elementary schools. This was a phenomenological qualitative study. There were ten participants that participated in the study. The criteria for the participants were: (a) They had to have been born in a Hispanic country, (b) Spanish must be their first language, (c) they must have immigrated to the country as adults, and (d) must have at least one child in elementary public schools in Texas. The Hispanic population in Texas and across the nation continues to grow. How schools, districts, and policymakers interact and make decisions for this specific community matter. Through this research, the audience has a better understanding of Hispanic immigrant perception on: (a) access to social capital provided by the school, (b) how and why they become involved in education, (c) and their agency and engagement in their children's education. The conclusions found in this study were: (a) public elementary school's lack of providing social capital to Hispanic American immigrant families to help break down their barriers and provide equitable opportunities and (b) public elementary school's lack of embracing Hispanic American immigrant parents in their school communities. Overall, American elementary public schools needed to rethink how they implemented parent engagement for the growing immigrant populations, specifically Hispanic American.
