In government aided schools, there existed a dearth of evidence on how involvement of parents in the learning process was of ultimate importance and this was true in Kayunga district. To this end, the effect of behavioral involvement; cognitive-intellectual involvement and; personal involvement of parents are investigated. To achieve the stated specific objectives, a causal comparative study was adopted on 429 randomly selected sampling units. Designed in a five-point designed by Likert (1967), a questionnaire was adopted as a tool for collecting data. In collecting qualitative information from key informants, the study used a structured interview guide. Regression analysis was adopted as a quantitative data analysis technique. Qualitative data was analyzed by interpreting the narratives of the interviewees and key informants about the state of play of both variables. It was established that behavioral involvement; cognitive-intellectual involvement and; personal involvement of parents were significant in explaining the performance of the students. From the study results, it is recommended that there should be a set of instilled policies and practices to ensure that there is sufficient behavioral involvement for the good of academic performance improvement; the various schools put up strategies to inform the parents of their roles in as far as interacting with the learners about their roles in imparting current affairs into the minds of their children and its effect on performance and; school administrators and teachers put lots of emphasis on improving the effectiveness of personal involvement of parents through parent of the year awards among others.
