Summary/Abstract: The family environment is becoming more diverse and more complex. The traditionality of some institutions has not lessened this problem because even within these institutions complexity is increasing. Such is the case with school, with which the parents are experiencing a growing difficulty in communication. In part, this is due to changing traditional roles, but mostly because of a growing importance of school in the life of a child, and the parents, which can be frustrating for both. It seems very important to examine the parents' satisfaction with school, for in that way the school gathers important information for improving cooperation. A questionnaire with 15 statements directly and indirectly dealing with the feeling of satisfaction was used. Examined were 349 parents of pupils in the final three grades of elementary school (6-8th grade).
