“…Past research shows that parents' level of education has a large impact on students' school performance. However, in addition to students' family background, the social composition of schools also significantly influences their results in the national Hungarian competence measurement (Bacskai, 2015;Széll, 2015;Fehérvári, 2016;Pusztai, 2009), in the national Romanian competency measurement (Barabás, 2020) or the PISA measurement (Pusztai & Bacskai 2015). Assuming similar parental and school backgrounds, geographical features also play a major role in children's performance (Garami, 2014).…”

In social sciences, a more sophisticated way of examining students' school performance, based on the combination of school and family factors, is becoming increasingly popular. Important indicators of schools operating in a given territorial and societal context can be obtained both at student and institutional levels if territorial characteristics are included. In our research we examine the correlation between family background and performance, and investigate the settlement type where the proportion of students from low SES schools is the highest. At the same time we are also curious whether there is a greater chance of resilience in smaller communities. Our results show that the majority of students from low SES schools study in small settlements, but resilience is clearly not more typical in smaller communities.
