Data were collected from 300 teachers in secondary schools in Iran. To achieve these aims, the researchers conducted a research survey to determine the level of parental involvement, and applied Pearson Correlation analysis to investigate the relationship between the school climate and parental involvement. The findings shown that, the school climate is in good situation, but the level of parental involvement is in medium level.
