This study determined the relationship between parental involvement and the behavior of Grade 5 pupils in Liyang Elementary School, Dapitan City, during the School Year 2025–2026. Specifically, it assessed parental involvement in terms of home-based support, school-based participation, and parenting practices, and examined pupil behavior in terms of classroom conduct, social interaction with peers, and responsibility and self-discipline. The study employed a descriptive-correlational research design involving 60 Grade 5 pupils through total population sampling. A validated questionnaire checklist was utilized in gathering data, while weighted mean, standard deviation, and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient (r) were used for statistical analysis. Findings revealed that parental involvement in terms of home-based support obtained an overall mean of 4.20 interpreted as “Often,” school-based participation obtained a mean of 4.00 interpreted as “Often,” and parenting practices obtained a mean of 4.22 interpreted as “Always.” In terms of pupil behavior, classroom conduct obtained a mean of 4.18 interpreted as “Often,” social interaction with peers obtained a mean of 4.19 interpreted as “Often,” while responsibility and self-discipline also showed a high level of manifestation. Correlation analysis revealed significant positive relationships between parental involvement and pupil behavior. Home-based support and parenting practices showed strong relationships with classroom conduct, peer interaction, and responsibility, while school-based participation demonstrated moderate but significant relationships. The study concluded that active parental involvement significantly contributes to positive behavioral outcomes among pupils and strengthens their social and disciplinary development.
