Abstract This study examined the level and patterns of parental involvement among higher secondary school students in Aizawl City and its variation across selected socio-demographic variables. A sample of 330 higher secondary students was collected from government, private and aided schools using a descriptive survey design and the standardized Parental Involvement Scale (PIS). Stratified random sampling ensured equal representation across school management types, and data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent samples t-tests and one-way ANOVA to examine differences by gender and school type. Results showed that nearly half of the students (49.69%) experienced low to very low parental involvement, with only about one-third reporting high or very high involvement, indicating a generally inadequate level of parental engagement in their academic and personal lives. A significant gender difference emerged, with female students reporting higher parental involvement than male students, while no significant differences were found in parental involvement across school management type. The study concludes that parental involvement in Aizawl City is generally low and recommends community-based awareness programs, inclusive school–family collaboration mechanisms and parent training workshops to enhance meaningful parental engagement.
