clickbait headline, the real answer is in the article:
> For starters, families have access to housing and health care through the military, and at least one parent has a job.
>"Having as many of those basic needs met does help set the scene for learning to occur,” said Jessica Thorne, the principal at E.A. White Elementary, a school of about 350 students
Providing a stable home environment with access to at least one parent, proper nutrition, and safety - all commonly missing in the worst performing school districts.
That may be a bit simplistic since the article does mentions other possible explanations for the better results beyond the fact that essentially all students are above an economic floor.
And I didn't get it from the article, but are those schools better than the schools in wealthy districts?
