Abstract
In a sample of 20,000 students, a statistically significant race-SES interaction was found. Results suggest that students from higher-SES backgrounds are set on more success-oriented trajectories (i.e., advanced course qualification, high school completion, college attainment) compared to lower-SES peers, but that the range of a student’s trajectory differs by race.
