There are some factors that influence the parents' and the community's participation. Therefore, this study was conducted to find the relationship between the education level and the income of the parents and their participation towards the implementation of education at schools. This study was conducted in Mojokerto, a district of East Java Indonesia, using a survey research design. The samples used were 150 parents that were taken using cluster proportional random sampling. The data collection techniques used were questionnaires and documentation. Whereas the data analysis techniques used were descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression. The results of the study showed that there was a significant correlation between parents' education level and income and their participation towards the implementation of education at schools simultaneously. It can be concluded that parents' education is a dominant factor that influences the quality of the implementation of education at school.
