The study explores issues related to the problem of family-school interaction in the context of their influence on educational aspirations, achievements, and decision-making by children. It is shown that the cooperation of family and school can quickly determine the educational trajectory of a child, which cardinally affects his professional self-determination. Based on the analysis of Russian and foreign studies, the author analyzes various models of parental engagement, examines the barriers to cooperation between parents and the school, and shows the effects of interaction. The author draws attention to the insufficient training of teachers for the implementation of interaction and the role of the school administration in its improvement. The potential of the systematic engagement of the family in the joint education of the child with the school is noted.
