Note. Advantaged students were average achieving females whose parents had a college degree; whose logged family income was the average logged family income among families whose parents had a college degree; and whose families owned their own homes. In contrast, disadvantaged students were average achieving females whose parents had a middle school or less education; whose logged family income was the average logged family income among families whose parents had a middle school or less education; and whose families did not own their homes.
