*Fun Facts*

*SD* - in the exam there were 1195 males (95%) and 66 females. Total = 1260
students

For Unit 3 SACS - Interestingly, while more females (11%) than males (6%)
got a D+, more females (19%) than males (14%) got A+.

Unit 4 SAC results were similar - girls outperformed boys in every grade >=
B+.

The exam numbers were also interesting - 15% of girls got an A, compared to
10% of boys, but boys did a bit better when it came to getting A+.



*ITA* - in the exam there were 1991 males (84%) and 371 females. Total =
2362 students.
The boys and girls were remarkably similar in grades for Unit 3 SACs,
though the girls did slightly better.
For Unit 4 SACs and in the exam, the girls again did slightly better than
the boys in the higher grade ranges.
