A study of 13,502 students in urban public schools (grades 3 through 12) serving predominantly minority students found females reported higher scores for their perceptions of the learning environment than did males, few differences by subject area, and many differences by grade level. In general, middle school classes had the least favorable perceptions. Contains 75 references. (PEN)
