The other is the level of parental involvment and interaction with the teachers and the children and the school itself. I think this part is often dismissed in many cases where teachers get all the blame.

I totally agree with you. Parental involvement has much bearing on achievement of the children, the teachers and the school itself. In our school is is openly encouraged by the teachers and the principal - it's the district higher-ups that seem to be discouraging it.
