Quality of education is constantly debated for its multifactorial characteristics, with important challenges to be overcome. Considering the influence of affective-emotional factors for learning, the relationship between child self-esteem and self-concept, parental education and school performance of elementary school students from the region of Vale do Rio Caí/RS was analyzed. The participants consisted of 74 students, who answered the Self-Concept Scale for Children and Youth, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and the School Achievement Test, and their parents, who completed the Questionnaire on Family Sociodemographic Data. Students with high self-esteem and social self-concept were those who presented medium and high school performance. There was an association between parents' lower schooling and school failure and lower school performance of children. Therefore, the importance of interventions in order to promote self-esteem and self-concept since childhood is highlighted.
