Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research shows that minority youths living in poverty are most likely to score poorly on high-stakes exams due to factors such as lack of access to quality education, less exposure to language and literacy development, and limited resources at home. IQ and early intervention programs may play a role, but poverty and minority status have a more significant impact on academic achievement.
