Yes, more interested parents + more money can make a huge difference even if they use the same basic textbooks/standards/etc.

Not even money. How involved are the parents in the child's education. That's generally the number one predictor I found in my years of teaching.

I agree that parents are the most important factor, but lack of money can cause problems even if extra money doesn’t help much. Severely under funded schools close more frequently for things like broken furnaces etc.
