Academic performance is the outcome of education, the extent to which a student, teacher or institution has achieved their educational goals. Academic performance is one of the most cherished values in all cultures ever since the dawn of the educational system, whether formal or informal. Parental expectations have been found to play a critical role in children's academic success. The objectives of the study were to assess both father and mother expectations regarding academic performance among school children and explore the association between their expectations. An exploratory research design was used, with a sample size of 320 school children from north India. A non-observation checklist was used to collect data on parent expectations. The data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The result showed that 93.4% of fathers had high expectations, 6.3% had moderate expectations 0.3% had fewer expectations and 90.3% of mothers had high expectations, 9.7% had moderate expectations and none of them had less expectations. There was a significant association between expectations of father and mother with a linear positive correlation of r value 0.714. The study emphasized that nursing administration should anticipate the need for time and prepare young nurses to serve the community and school regarding parental expectations. Moreover, nursing professionals should render services according to the changing needs of the society. There is a need for health professionals to take an active part in providing health education to people regarding a positive attitude towards academic performance.
