Basically the paper explores the characteristics of school commitment, involvement, engagement, climate but also compares other areas closely related to the issue. Differences between students’ and teachers’ aspects regarding the degree of community involvement, judgement of school goals and expectations, assessment of teacher competencies, life satisfaction and trust. In the first part of the study interpretations of students' engagement to school, teachers' commitment to work and organization, and school atmosphere are elaborated, also the most important empirical results on the topic are presented. Focusing on these topics, the second part analyses the differences between students’ (n = 1,953) and teachers’ (n = 1,136) points of view based on a questionnaire survey conducted in the autumn of 2018 in the framework of a complex research aimed at the analysis of school dropouts in Hungary.
