Summary/Abstract: Understanding the factors influencing school dropout rates is crucial for developing effective educational policies and interventions. High dropout rates not only affect individual students but also have significant societal and economic implications. In the sociological exploration of the phenomenon of children's school abandonment, the intricate dynamics of familial characteristics emerge as a compelling focal point, considering that they form the sociological landscape where the predictors of academic disengagement may find expression. In correlation with other indicators, known as early warning signs – like poor attendance, academic struggles, behavior problems, and disengagement from school activities, these can signal that a student is at risk of dropping out. Understanding and addressing the resources of support within the family unit is essential for creating effective educational policies and interventions. By recognizing the influence of family support resources, educators and policymakers can develop strategies that empower families to actively contribute to their children's academic success and overall well-being. This paper embarks on an analysis of the relationship between school-aged children and their families, aiming to unravel the extent to which these contribute to the educational success rate and the prevention of school dropout, a phenomenon that still marks the Romanian society.
