This quantitative research used survey to collect data through questionnaire. The questionnaire was developed by the researcher and pilot tested prior to collect data from sample. Sample of the study was comprised 70 principals of elementary schools situated in Wahgha Town of the Lahore district. 54 out of 70 principals returned completely filled questionnaire yielding response rate of 77%. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze the data. The principals have shown high agreement on that parent school partnership has a positive effect on student grades and that parents were welcomed in school. Contrary to this more than half of the school principals agreed that certain barriers prohibited this involvement like working parents, teachers don't want to involve parents, socio- economic status of parents, parents don't know how to involve with schools, and parents don't desire to see principal and low involvement at elementary level as compared to primary level.
