According to a study by the Center for Education Policy, 85 percent of girls in grades three through 12 said they planned to attend college, while 77 of boys planned to attend college.
Girl were also 13 percent more likely to see a four-year college in their future than boys, and 10 percent more likely to do more than the bare minimum amount of work to pass a class.
"We have closed the attitudinal gap between boys and girls," said Kathy Onoye, chief executive officer for elementary education at Pasadena Unified School District. "We were very aware 20 years ago about the gap in math, for instance, and we've closed that gap."
