Inclusive education requires the support of parents of children with disabilities and parents of normal children so that can be carried out well. However, there are often misunderstandings about parents about this. The purpose of this study is to be able to classify parents' perceptions about the application of inclusive education in schools. Researchers interviewed 177 respondents with parents' criteria from elementary school-age children (7-12 years) in six districts in Lampung. Furthermore, the results were analyzed based on educational and socioeconomic status (ESES). There are two groups of parents' perception responses, namely a group of parents who support and a group of parents who reject, which is then classified based on cognitive, behavioral, facility and social aspects. The perception of parents with low ESES was 30 parents with 25 agreed, and 4 refused. Parents' perceptions with moderate ESES, 41 parents with 10 agreed, and 7 refused. While the perception of parents with ESES was high, as many as 38 parents with, 18 agreed, and 4 refused. In general, ESES does not affect the perception of parents.
