[quote=Anonymous]My DD is at a coed school. Girls are the majority in all of her AP/honors/advanced track classes and have been since 6th grade. In her private k-8, we were told that it was because HS admissions in our area (not dmv) were far more competitive for qualified girls than for boys. This was quite true. Boys were easily admitted with regular grades and courses, while girls on the advanced math track and straight As were basically in a lottery with one another for spaces at top coed schools in our (again, not dmv) area. For college, my friends who are parents of boys are reporting that their boys are coasting in HS and still getting really good college admissions results. Maybe they are actually taking intense schedules on the sly and have 1580s. But I think there is some truth in these anecdotes and boys know that they don’t have to grind as hard to chase competitive admissions in the current environment.[/quote]
