In view of the significant findings of the study the

researcher arrived at following conclusions:

This study disclosed that parenting styles of both

fathers and mothers have been considerably related to the

academic achievement of the students. The authoritative

style of parenting is commonly practiced by parents of the

Junior High School students of Baggao National Agricultural

School. Children of authoritative parents rank the highest

academically of all other parenting styles, with more school

involvement and less undesirable behaviors.

While authoritative parenting style is predominantly

used by parents, they also manifested to have practiced the

authoritarian, permissive, and negligent parenting styles

which characterize the varied style of parenting.

Recommendations

Derived from the substantial findings and conclusions

of this study, the researcher advocates the following

recommendations:

1. Since Authoritative parenting style influences the

Academic Performance of students it is a recommended that

parents should adapt this style.

2. Guidance and counseling should be reinforced, to

assist neglected students by guiding them on matters

important to their future.

3. The Proposed intervention program should be

strictly implemented.

4. A similar study should be steered using other

variables of parenting styles in a more comprehensive scope.
