Abstract

This study examined the influence of parental involvement on learners’ academic achievement at Eulogio Rodriguez Jr. Elementary School. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected through interviews and observations involving selected teaching and non-teaching personnel. Findings revealed that parental involvement positively affects learners’ academic performance, motivation, behavior, and study habits. However, involvement is often limited to home-based support due to socioeconomic constraints, time limitations, and communication gaps. The study also identified key challenges such as financial difficulties, limited educational background, and inconsistent school participation. Based on the results, a proposed action plan was developed to strengthen home–school collaboration and enhance parental engagement, ultimately improving learners’ academic outcomes.
