Marte, Jonnelle. “Here’s How Much your High School Grades Predict your Future Salary.” The

This article has an informative purpose and reports on the findings of a published

research study in the Eastern Economic Jorunal. In this research from the University of Miami,

there were several main findings. First, Marte reports that the grades of individuals in high

school are associated with their chances in attending college. In addition, the grades earned in

high school also reflected their academic success in college. Next, their grades in high school

could also serve as an indicator on how much they will earn later in life. Finally, the article

concludes with the point that earning a college degree in general leads to increased earnings over

an individual’s lifetime. In the study, almost 4,700 men and over 5,500 women were surveyed.

Key Quotes:

• “[An] one-point increase in GPA doubles the chance for both genders that a person will

complete college, increasing that probability from 21 percent to 42 percent” (Marte).

• “For a one-point increase in a person’s high school GPA, average annual earnings in

adulthood increased by about 12 percent for men and about 14 percent for women, the

report found” (Marte).
