A young child's experience in secondary to higher high school is intimidating and stressful. A high school may have a more complicated learning environment than an elementary school. When parents’ try to educate their children, they want the best educational performance and a high level of educational behavior. Many failures in children's educational performance are associated with bad behaviour, poor social environment, lack of income and parents’ involvement in their children's educational activities. At the same time, there has been limited study on parents’ involvement in educational activities and how parents’ influence high school children's educational performance. So, the study's objective was to analyze the dependency between parents’ involvement and the student's educational performance. Subsequently, the cross-sectional study was carried out from January to March 2022 in Multan city with 150 male students and 150 female students of tenth class from both public and private secondary level schools. Simple random sampling was used to choose six boys' high schools (one included a public school and one private school) and six girls' schools (one included a public school and one private school), equally presenting both public and private schools. An interview schedule was used to collect data about the study variables among the study respondents. The
Qui-square was used to analyze the dependency between parents’ involvement and
children's educational performance. The study's findings concluded that parents’ involvement and the student's educational performance are significantly dependent, and the high school student's educational performance is influenced by various perspectives of parents’ involvement in their children's educational activities and parents’ demographic characteristics.
