These college-ready schools allow children living in low-income communities to enter a school that prepares them for college. This reassures kids that college is the way to go. In the article “What causes this gap?” ", he asserts, "the certainty that low-income children can absolutely achieve high standards just as high as their more affluent peers. » This is in line with what college-ready schools are trying to achieve and are striving even harder to raise their students to standards. The only problem is that most socio-economic families are not familiar with this type of school, but parents may also believe that they have to pay for these schools. Again, parents place their children in the school they want their children to attend and choose the school that is right next to the house, making it a convent. Parents from low socio-economic backgrounds do not realize that the school they choose affects their child's education. This leads to the long-term effects of choosing a public school and not a college-ready school by allowing low-SES children to believe that college is not the place for them and allowing them to think that this is a great place for them.
