[quote=Anonymous]With the DCC, both Blake and Einstein have some sort of arts focus. By high school, that run heavily female. In racially and economically diverse schools, I also think one might run into issues in high school where boys are more likely to leave school than girls. As to your question about "low performing" versus "high performing" schools, I genuinely don't think this is an issue of valuing the education of boys. I do think that the slower emotional maturity of boys makes them less resilient, and less likely to succeed without additional supports. So, a girl can find her academic peer group in a diverse school and thrive, whereas I would suspect boys are more susceptible to peer pressure and their parents worry they need a more homogeneous environment.
