The ratio of girls to boys in my son’s national honor society organization is 2 to 1. Just a spot sampling and our last meeting.

My son’s school is your typical public High School.

Possibly so. However, national honor society memberships aren't awarded based on the ability to solve complex technical problems. What I'm referring to is the fact that males are over-represented at both extremes of the bell curve compared to females.

Your son’s school sounds pretty racist.

Doesn't answer the question of how those females perform in mathematics compared to males, especially in the upper quartile.

In my graduating class of 40+ years ago, the NHS membership was about the same, but most of the females had their top grades in non-mathematical options. There were only two females in the Calculus class, and none in the second year chemistry or second year physics classes.

Isn’t that wonderful...
