This recent article in the Olympian provided an analysis regarding the Washington state 10th graders. Gender, race, and income level were all factors...
In relation to gender there were no achievment gaps noted in subject of math. This was not the case in other subjects.
Tenth-grade boys in schools across South Sound improved their performance in reading, nearly reaching the bar set by their female counterparts. But a wider gap remains between boys and girls in writing. "The boys and the girls have improved at a steady pace, but the boys have been behind the girls," said Suzanne Hall, Tumwater School District executive director of student learning. "The girls are still outperforming the boys, but the gap is getting smaller."
