The relationship between school - family is shown by multiple national and international studies, as a cornerstone for the improvement of educational activity in schools. Indeed, studies indicate a strong and positive relationship between the quality of this relationship and the level of academic and educational achievement of children, adolescents and youth. The acceptance of this reality is general and indisputable. However, its implementation continues to be of great complexity. This article presents some results of a study - conducted within the doctoral thesis at the University of Granada4 - which aimed the characterization of the fundamental dynamics of participation and involvement of families in the elementary schools of a county in the central region of the country, through the perception of parents and teachers who perform the management functions of the class. The data obtained through questionnaires and interviews with parents and class directors, reveals a clear and widespread perception about the great benefits of family involvement in the school life of their children for all involved and shows that there are bilateral difficulties in its achieving.
