Involved parents will likely always improve the scores of students, but the disparity between those who do and don't need not be so dramatic.
It's fun to read biographies of 20th century scientists. Quite a few of them came from humble backgrounds and credited their success to education (and perhaps libraries). They often did not have well educated or motivated parents. Nick Holonyak is one such example. Carl Sagan is another.
And this is even more apparent when I look at the British ones. It's a bit funny given how rigid and uninspiring the British education system was.
