Parental involvement in school plays a significant role in children’s academic school functioning. This study aims to measure the influence of organizational culture on high school students’ academic performance in Chian mediated by parental involvement. This study employed a quantitative survey methodology, utilizing Google Forms questionnaire designed on a Likert scale ranging from 1 to 7. The survey was distributed to 162 high school students selected through simple random sampling. Before proceeding with data analysis, the questionnaire’s validity and reliability are assessed initially. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using Smart-PLS software is employed for analyzing and interpreting the data to address the formulated research questions and hypotheses. The results of this study shows that organizational culture has relationship with parental involvement and students’ academic behavior. (1) Participative Decision-Making Progress culture and Innovation Orientation culture have positive effect on parental involvement to enhance students’ academic performance in high schools; (2) Achievement Orientation culture has no significant positive impact on parental involvement to enhance students’ academic performance in high schools; (3) Parental involvement acts as a mediator in the relationship between organizational culture and students’ academic performance. Thus, it is recommended education institutions foster a culture of innovation and decision-making participation culture to create a supportive learning environment that boosts the engagement of both parents and students, which in turn leads to better academic performance.
