Sumario:Family and school are the two main socializing agents responsible for children’s education. In order to gain greater insight into both institutions and the necessary links between them, this study proposes the Diagnosis Scale for Family-School Relationships (DIREFAES, in Spanish) and conducts a psychometric analysis of the scale in a sample of 1,276 families from Córdoba, Spain. A statistical analysis of items confirms its discriminatory power and a factorial analysis establishes the theoretical validity of components. The study identified 13 factors that coincide to a high degree with the eight dimensions resulting from a theoretical and policy analysis and the participation of a group of experts. Finally, Cronbach’s alpha was used to confirm the reliability of the tool both as a whole (.951) and in its various dimensions (except for one; the rest were above .817).
