A Three Year Study of The Effects of Low Income on SAT Scores Among the Academically Able

This study reports on the incidence of economically disadvantaged gifted learners in the midwest and the differential effects of low income on their SAT scores when compared to higher income students. It presents data supporting the conclusion that low income impedes the gifted student from being able to take advantage of special programs outside of his or her school district and negatively affects test scores even in the upper ranges of ability. Ideas for combating the differential scoring pattern of low income students are discussed along with implications for school district and state policy development.
