Parental Involvement's Role in the Academic Performance of Grade 6 Learners in Baybay 7 District, Philippines

Abstract

This descriptive-correlational study investigates the impact of parental involvement on the academic performance of 201 Grade 6 learners in Baybay 7 District, Philippines. Most parent respondents were low-income, high school graduates aged 31–40 working in agriculture, labor, or as homemakers. Despite these economic constraints, students demonstrated high academic achievement (GWA 90–100). The findings reveal a strong positive correlation between home-based parental involvement—particularly homework assistance and creating conducive study environments—and academic success. While parental age, occupation, and income did not significantly affect involvement levels, parental educational attainment emerged as a critical driver of engagement. The study concludes that home-based support is a primary determinant of academic excellence and recommends that schools implement targeted workshops to equip parents from all backgrounds with effective home-learning strategies.
