Abstract：There are differences in the quality of different opportunities for senior high school education， and the quality of the access to high school education has a critical influence on the chance of higher education attainment and occupational attainment. Therefore， it is one of the topics in educational equality research. Students’ high school education opportunities are affected by multiple factors. This study explores the relationship between students’ family capital and the quality of their high school education opportunities. The investigation and analysis of students’ educational tracking after junior high school in County B of Jiangsu Province find that， economic capital has no significant effect on the educational opportunities of common high schools and quality high schools (compared with vocational high schools)， while social capital has a positive effect， and cultural capital has a positive impact but weaker than social capital. Only cultural capital has a significant positive impact on the access to quality high schools (compared with common high schools). Among the factors of family capital， the subjective factors can help the children of disadvantaged families to obtain opportunities for common high schools， but the objective factors will restrict their opportunities for quality high schools. Therefore， the government should implement the high school “quota allocation policy” as well as promoting the balanced distribution of student resources between common high schools and quality high schools. In addition， the disadvantaged families should actively cultivate family cultural capital， and the schools and communities should also provide various support to make up for the lack of family cultural capital of these families， thereby improving the quality of their children’s high school education opportunities.
