Abstract

Academic performance in children and adolescents does not depend exclusively on the quality of education provided by institutions, but also on the dynamics that take shape within the family environment. Several studies have highlighted that the interaction between family and school is a crucial factor in the learning process. However, questions remain regarding the specific impact of family relationships on academic performance, as well as the role that communication among parents, teachers, and students plays in this dynamic. This study addresses this issue through a review of academic literature produced over the past decade, employing a comparative approach that encompasses regional, departmental, and international contexts. The objective is to identify the family dynamics that influence school performance and to analyze the school's potential to mitigate limitations stemming from an unfavorable family environment. The methodology is based on a documentary review and comparative analysis of previous research.  The findings underscore the importance of parental support, assertive communication, and strengthening emotional bonds at home as key elements for academic success. Likewise, the active participation of families in the educational process is shown to significantly contribute to the comprehensive development of students, fostering not only academic performance but also emotional and social well-being.  In conclusion, the study highlights the importance of strengthening the bidirectional relationship between family and school through effective communication strategies and parental involvement programs, as a means to foster more inclusive, participatory, and effective educational environments.
