Children who are raised in poverty or low-income households are much more likely to drop out. Gifted children raised in poverty are particularly at risk. But that doesn’t have to be the case. These children can all succeed. They can go to college. They can do wonderful things if someone will take the time to build their complex language skills and verbal memory.
