學校教育具有扮演平衡家庭因素對學業成就所造成不公平影響之功能，絕非影響微乎其微；也深具功績主義主張決定學業成就是能力與努力之證據；無法支持衝突典範主張學業成就是反應社經背景的說法。但不同社經背景間學生學業成就仍有統計上顯著差異，與功能典範所主張學校教育是社會不公平之偉大平衡機制仍有些許落差。且本研究仍無直接證據支持或推翻學校是社會不公平的再製工具之論點。

Study show that schooling can play the function of "equal institution", and show meritocratic picture. No evidence show that academic achievement reflects Socioeconomic Status, and schooling are the reproduction of inequality. Whereas there's something of slip between the function of equal institution and the great equalizer.
