Why is it that students from higher socio-economic backgrounds perform better IN vce?

i have heard this being reiterated on and on...

so any explanations?/

pi:
This is a generalisation, but I'll explain it (imo) in a generalisation too for ease. They can afford to go to "better" schools (ie. private schools) and hence receive an education that is, on average, at a higher level and therefore perform better.

Okay, what is it the separates a "good" school from a "bad" school?
What exactly is this difference in quality of education?
Better resources, more motivated students...but what else?
Does this make a big difference?
I would have thought one's cultural attitute in the household family towards work/study would be more of a contributing factor in how a students goes in VCE.

I don't know that statement is backed up by statistics or whatever, but I'd assume it would be because they can afford to attend top schools (which have better ATAR averages).

jokerman1:
How do you create a school with better ATAR averages?

What would you need?
