This research was conducted using quantitative and qualitative methods. The population was 108 students from alternative high schools in Bangkok Metropolis. A survey was carried out with a population of 108 students and interviews were conducted with 5 conveniently selected students. There were four research instruments, including a student learning outcome questionnaire, school climate questionnaire, parental involvement questionnaire, and interview guideline. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearsons Correlation, Stepwise Multiple Regression and content analysis. The research findings indicated that the overall student learning outcome and school climate were high, while the overall parental involvement level was moderate. The results also demonstrated that there was a positive relationship between school climate and student learning outcome, and the school climate could be a predictive factor of the students learning outcome.
