Abstract
This article is based on the "China Education Tracking Survey" 2013-2014 data, to explore the phenomenon of the poor family difficult to have a success child. The problem is embodied as the impact of family capital on junior high school students' cognitive ability and academic performance. The research results show that family capital has a significant effect on cognitive ability test scores, and its effect is lower than that of the group with higher cognitive ability scores; the family capital does not exist on the academic performance of young people. It has a significant effect, but it has a positive effect on academic performance by affecting cognitive ability.
