This study examines the impact of parental engagement in School-Based Management (SBM) on student academic performance and school effectiveness in Daraga South District, Albay, Philippines. Using a mixed-methods design with surveys and interviews involving Grade 3 teachers and parents from three elementary schools, the research assessed levels of parental involvement in meetings and school activities and analyzed relationships with key performance indicators (promotion, repetition, and school-leaver/dropout rates). Findings indicate moderate parental engagement, primarily in child-focused activities rather than formal decision-making. While qualitative data strongly link involvement to enhanced student motivation, resilience, and classroom behavior, quantitative analysis reveals no statistically significant correlation between aggregate parental involvement and school-level KPIs. The study concludes that parental influence operates indirectly through student-centered pathways and recommends a context-specific strategic intervention plan to translate engagement into measurable school-wide improvements.
