Abstract

Education in Indonesia is vital to societal progress, impacting individual growth and national development. This study investigates the relationship between parental involvement, friendship relationships, and academic achievement in Indonesian junior high schools. A quantitative research design was used to collect data from 800 students, including surveys and academic records. The results indicate a positive correlation between parental involvement and academic achievement, as well as between friendship relationships and academic achievement. Regression analysis confirms that parental involvement and friendship relationships are significant predictors of academic achievement. Moreover, mediation analysis reveals that positive friendship relationships mediate a portion of the effect of parental involvement on academic achievement. This study underscores the importance of parental involvement and the role of peer relationships in shaping academic success in the Indonesian context. The findings have implications for parents, educators, and policymakers, suggesting that fostering both family and peer support systems is crucial to enhancing educational outcomes.
