This research used the descriptive-correlation design to investigate the phenomenon. The respondents of the study were selected from three public high schools. The data were gathered through a survey questionnaire. Statistical tools used were mean, Pearson r and multiple regression. The study revealed that mathematics teachers exhibited high level of creating a learning environment inside the classroom. This showed that students recognized the effort of the teacher to get students interested in different activities in the classroom. Also, parents demonstrated high level of parental involvement in their student’s learning. This means that parental involvement to their children was very essential. It was also revealed that student showed a positive attitude towards mathematics. Additionally, it was found that there was a significant relationship between learning environment and attitude of students towards mathematics. This means that the increase in perception of the learning environment would also likely increase attitude of students towards mathematics. Similarly, parental involvement was found to be significant in relation to the attitude of students. This implies that the increase in parents’ involvement would also likely increase attitude of students towards mathematics. Lastly, learning environment and parental involvement were found to be significant predictors of attitude of students towards mathematics.
