This research aimed to explore how parental pressures impact students' academic performance, providing insights into the factors that influence student success. This study employed a quantitative approach to collect and analyze numerical data. A researcher-made survey questionnaire, which underwent expert validation, was distributed online to students in the Accountancy, Business, and Management (ABM) fields at Immaculada Concepcion College during the 2023-2024 academic year. The results showed that the highest average weighted mean of 4.58 indicated that a significant number of students felt that parental pressure had a notable impact on their regular habits in completing school-related activities. Additionally, 41% of the respondents reported an academic performance level within the range of 85 to 89 in their general average during the first semester. The data and insights revealed that while students experienced pressure from their parents, many were still able to perform well in school. However, the analysis also indicated that parental pressure could have a negative impact on students’ academic performance. The Pearson r and correlation coefficient results showed a significant negative relationship between parental pressure and students' academic performance.
