Evaluating Socioeconomic Factors in Test Score Analysis

A recent report from the National Education Association claimed that students with access to free online learning resources scored on average 20% higher in standardized tests than those without such access. The report analyzed test scores from 1,000 students across various schools and highlighted that the scores were significantly influenced by the additional study materials. However, critics argue that the report does not account for students' socioeconomic backgrounds, which could affect both access to resources and academic performance.
