Abstract
This study explores the impact of parental involvement on students' academic success in Nigerian schools. It explores the various forms of parental engagement, including participation in school activities, providing home-based support, and communication with teachers, and their correlation with student achievement. A mixed-methods approach was used to collect qualitative and quantitative data from 300 students, 200 teachers, and 150 parents across five states from April to June 2024. The findings revealed that heightened parental involvement significantly enhances student performance, particularly in urban settings. The study advocates for policy initiatives aimed at cultivating stronger home-school partnerships and addressing socioeconomic barriers to parental participation, especially in rural areas.
