This study delves into the intricate factors shaping students' academic performance. Investigating the interplay between school-based and home-based factors, the research employs an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design, combining quantitative and qualitative data for a comprehensive understanding. The study, conducted in Lahore, Pakistan, with a sample of 535 secondary-level students, the study employs questionnaires, individual interviews, and purposive sampling. Quantitative results reveal a strong correlation between parental involvement and academic outcomes, surpassing the impact of human and physical resources. Enhanced physical facilities within schools emerge as significant contributors to academic achievement. Qualitative insights highlight authoritative parenting as a key predictor of success, addressing barriers to involvement through flexible scheduling and resource provision. Collaborative efforts between educators and parents are fundamental, overcoming obstacles like work commitments. Students stress the symbiotic relationship between physical and human resources for academic success. This study underscores the complexity of factors influencing performance, advocating a multifaceted, collaborative approach for academic excellence. Recognizing the interplay between parental involvement, resources, and human factors enables educational institutions to formulate strategies promoting student success.
