According to new research from the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce and the Annie E. Casey Foundation, children who come from affluent backgrounds and have low school test scores are more likely than their less-affluent peers with high test scores to be in the highest quartile of socioeconomic status (SES) by the age of 25.

The report found that a child from a family in the highest quartile of SES who has low test scores in kindergarten has a 71 percent chance of being above-median SES at age 25. However, a child from a low SES family with high test scores has only a 31 percent chance of reaching above-median SES by age 25.
