In conclusion, the higher the parents' education level, the better the children's grades; the wealthier the family, the better the children's academic performance.

Students from low socio-economic families (low-income households) face a dual disadvantage in academic performance (including educational expectations, student supervision, and parent-child communication) as well as in non-monetary family resource investment (tutoring and extracurricular support).

Children from high-income families score on average 6 percentage points higher (more than 10 points) than those from low-income families.
