Do BA students have parents? Do they even know what a mother is? Or do they spontaneously generate at school "age" and vaporize on graduation?
They're mentioned but never shown for one of the characters, and I believe that is partly to maintain the game's appeal.
Volume EX spoilers The current "Academy City" setting is a "texture" over the students' "true forms" and the true nature of the world. In a oversimplified manner, the current Kivotos could be seen as "fake". Characters have been shown to age (we see Hoshino as a 1st and 2nd year student in flashbacks), and we also have mentions of students being childhood friends.
Volume 1 Chapter 3 spoilers The information we have on "graduation" is vague, but if the Thunder Emperor is anything to go by it completely removes a student from Kivotos.

Well, aside from the above comments, I'd imagine that Kei, specifically, wouldn't have parents in the traditional sense (and nor would Aris, for that matter). They may know what a mother is, but their knowledge would be all theory and no practice, I'm guessing.

Besides what's already been said, there are occasional throwaway lines that imply the existence of parents, e.g. Midori mentioning "sharing a womb" with her twin sister Momoi. However,
I'm not all that deep in the lore, but I know at least Nonomi has parents.
It's never actually stated specifically that Nonomi, or anyone else, has parents. Only that she's heir to the highly influential Saint Nephthys company. No actual family members are ever shown or mentioned, only an unnamed robot butler that is suggested to act as her surrogate guardian.
Similarly, Yukari is stated to be a member of the prestigious Kadenokouji family, but no direct family members are ever shown or mentioned. Only servants, and the former Kadenokouji miko Kokuriko (Blue Archive), whose exact relation to Yukari hasn't been stated yet.

Atsuko is directly stated to be a "direct discendant" of the student council president of Arius prior to Beatrice taking the district over.
Misaki said in V3-C4-E13: A direct descendant of the previous Arius Student Council president... She has royal blood.
And even if none of the students have parents, they all absolutely KNOW what a parent is. Lots of the animal people around are parents and children (particularly the bird people). Even Kei specifically should know, because she's played the GDD's games, and Aris at one point mentions a confusing detail about the protagonist's mother in one of them.
