I agree, in our case this will mean finding a school where this is more likely to be the case. I have found that this does not equate to finding a high ses school in my area. Sports is the main focus of high ses parents in my area, education is secondary at best.

How does race matter? In the U.S., blacks score about 1 standard deviation below whites on IQ tests.

Interesting that this does not apply to immigrant Nigerians as a group, for instance, which to me suggests that this deviation has little to do with race and more to do with low income and culture.
