Surprised?
Don't be.
Female students have dominated lists of high school valedictorians and top-ten academic lists for some years now.

Whilst you're at it, tell me why girls and women are so often pictured as victims of classroom gender bias.
Is it possible that gender bias runs against boys and men?
