New study from Florida reveals--again--that out-of-school factors strongest when looking at education outcomes:
"Researchers discovered the groups’ socio-economic level corresponded with their group ranking on FCAT scores. The most affluent lifestyle group registered the highest FCAT scores, the second richest group ranked second in test scores, and so on. On the math tests, the gap between the highest and lowest scoring lifestyle groups was more than two grade levels."
[But someone needs to inform the journalists that poverty is not a "lifestyle."]
