The relationship between teachers and parents plays a strategic role in shaping a learning environment that supports student achievement, especially at the elementary school level. This study aims to examine the dynamics of the relationship between teachers and parents in supporting student academic performance at MI NW Karang Baru. The background of this research stems from the phenomenon of uneven parental involvement in the education process, despite evidence showing that such involvement has a significant impact on student academic success. This study employed a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participatory observations, and documentation, involving 30 informants consisting of the principal, teachers, parents, and students. The research was conducted over a three-month period from April to June 2024. The findings indicate that the relationship between teachers and parents at MI NW Karang Baru is relatively open and participative, especially in the context of monitoring students' academic progress. Parental involvement was found to be more active among high-achieving students. However, obstacles such as time constraints and the socio-economic background of some parents were identified as factors affecting the level of their participation. The study concludes that a well-established collaboration between teachers and parents significantly influences student achievement and must be supported by adaptive communication strategies rooted in local values to ensure effectiveness and sustainability.
