This study was conducted to conclude the probability among the profile, curricular performance, and parental involvement. To accomplish the purpose of the study, the descriptive-correlational research design was used. Eleventh graders of Rodolfo V. Feliciano Memorial High School in Magalang, Province of Pampanga, Philippine in School Year 2018-2019 served as respondents of the study. Results revealed that there is a moderate positive correlation between a male parent/guardian's occupation and female parent's/guardian's occupation on the student's overall performance, a moderate positive correlation between parent's involvement at home and the school, a weak correlation between parent's involvement at home and the student's overall performance, and there is a moderate negative correlation between parent's involvement at school and the student's overall performance. Based on the findings, it is suggested that Parents/guardian should be aware of the living environment of the students concluding food, area of private study, providing basic needs, and support in curricular, extra-curricular activities, and community involvement, School authorities should, in collaboration with teachers, engage in dialogue with parents to encourage them to become part not only students’ learning but also to be part of school activities, and Social workers as wellas the community should promote the needs to provide student with secure and safe learning environment at home.
