Quizplus · Accepted Answer

National data has consistently shown that there is a significant achievement gap between students from low-income families and those from high-income families. This achievement gap can manifest in various areas, including standardized test scores. Therefore, Mr. Thibodaux is likely to find the greatest gaps in academic achievement between the scores of wealthy and poor students in his middle school. Although there may be other gaps between different racial and ethnic groups, the socioeconomic gap tends to have more significant implications on overall academic achievement.
