Why are black girls doing reasonably well by comparison? Black girls, in contrast to the boys, get pretty good grades, go to college at decent rates and graduate from college at very good rates, earning degrees as twice the rate of men. _Source_via_JoanneJacobs [...] [...] A quick look at the chart above shows that as bad as young black males are doing in school, their sisters–born of the same parents, raised in the same homes, and eating the same foods–are actually doing fairly well.

So, the one reference to gender stated that there was no difference in college success by gender. The only issue was that males did not take courses that qualified them to get into the same colleges as females, therefore that was why there were more females in college. Was there something else related to gender in this report that I may have missed? I’ve looked at the Consortium for Chicago Schools report.

Re, "The girls come from the same homes, the same schools, the same neighborhoods as their brothers and neighbors?" - on its face, this is true, but each of these institutions can affect girls and boys differently. For example, boys are differentially affected by absent fathers (historically, the gender gap in college completion first started opening up among single mom families), and the same kind of neighborhood can produce radically different outcomes for girls and boys (see some of the MTO studies).
