The effects of poverty on students?

I’m trying to do some research and I’m not getting to far. I was wondering if someone might know of a web-site or article that has information on the effects of poverty on students. I’m really interested in the percentage of “in poverty” students that drop out of high school or get into college.

people from poverty can’t afford college because all their money from working goes towards taking care of basic needs. when they are in HS, they can’t afford tutors to help them if they need it, and the poor school districts aren’t as good as the rich ones.

Have you tried looking for journal articles. If you are in college you should have access through databases through your school’s library. Ask a librarian at your school to help you find peer-reviewed articles. He or she will be familiar with the searches and databases that your school subscribes to, this varies between schools.
