The foundation of the parent's involvement in their child's education is essential. Parents' major obligation is to raise their children to become productive and responsible citizens. The key purpose of this study is to investigate the level of parental involvement in relation to learners' performance as perceived by 120 respondents in a public elementary school of a large-sized division in Central Visayas. Descriptive, relational, and quantitative research was conducted, and used a 30-item survey questionnaire as a tool to gather data on the involvement of parents in children's reading and learning activities. The results revealed that the level of parental involvement in the areas of home learning environment and parent-teacher communication was moderate, whereas in the area of family support system, it was high. The level of learners' performance was at the instructional level. There was a significant difference in the level of parental involvement in the area of the home-learning environment when compared according to age. There was a significant difference in the level of parental involvement in all three areas when compared to grade level. Further, there was a significant difference between the level of parental involvement and learners' performance. This calls for school authorities to design programs and activities that would increase parents' involvement in their children's school life.
