Purpose: The dynamics of parent-teacher relationships are pivotal in shaping student success across academic and socio-emotional domains. This study aimed to explore the complexities of these relationships and how they impact student outcomes through qualitative analysis.

Methodology: This qualitative study utilized semi-structured interviews with a total of 26 participants, comprising 14 teachers and 12 parents from various educational settings. Theoretical saturation was achieved to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the issues at hand. Data were analyzed using NVivo software, focusing on thematic analysis to extract patterns and insights relevant to the dynamics of parent-teacher interactions.

Findings: Three main themes were identified: Communication Practices, Partnership Building, and Impact on Student Outcomes. Each theme revealed critical insights: effective communication practices are essential for maintaining informed and engaged relationships; partnership building based on mutual respect and trust enhances collaborative efforts; and these relationships positively influence student academic performance and social-emotional development.

Conclusion: The study underscores the significant influence of robust parent-teacher relationships on student success. It highlights the need for strategic educational practices that support these relationships to foster better student outcomes.
