Last year, in the best performing public high school in Kansas, 45 percent of the school’s tenth-graders tested not proficient in English 
Language Arts. In the worst performing school, an incredible 97 percent of the tenth graders tested not proficient. In the average suburban high school, inevitably considered “excellent” by town boosters, 60 to 80 percent of the students failed to reach the low bar of proficiency in language arts.
The KSDE does not break the scores out by gender, but if it did, the boys would be the ones pulling the numbers down. They pull the language numbers down wherever tested. High school failures lead to underperformance in college. In 2018, for instance, females earned nearly 59 percent of all the academic degrees awarded in the United States. The Department of Education expects the trend to continue. By 2027, women are projected earn 151 college degrees for every 100 degrees earned by men.
One major reason for male failure is the effete dreck boys are assigned to read in schools.
