  The aim of our study is to review the wide-ranging network of relationships between schools and parents based on investigations carried out along various indicators in diverse social grups. By analyzing the National Competence Measurement database, we examined parental involvement, a factor known to influence academic outcomes, particularly in the 6th and 10th grades in Hungary. Principal component analysis and crosstabulation analysis were used in order to unveil correlations between the gained results and both the students' family background and age. It was found that although the level of parental involvement decreases with the child’s age, it still has an impact on parental participation. Additionally, we have demonstrated that lower-status families have a different involvement strategy, but the level of involvement is not as high as families from higher socioeconomic backgrounds, leading to misunderstandings between families and schools
