The bar charts compare the proportion of students receiving high grades (A and B) in five different subjects, including Math, Science, Humanities Subjects, Arts and Languages, in terms of gender at Parston School and the national average.
Overall, it is immediately obvious that Math is prominent in the number of students obtaining high scores. Furthermore, male students are better at Math and Science than female students, while Humanities Subjects, Arts and Languages recorded more high grades among the latter. It is also apparent that the percentages of students who excel in five subjects in the national average are lower than those in Parston School.
Looking first at Parston School, the proportions of male students scoring highly in Math and Science account for a large scale, at 45% and 43%, compared to 40% and 37% of their female counterparts, respectively. In contrast, 35% of female students attain high scores in Humanities Subjects, 5% higher than the figure for male students. Similarly, the percentages of female students achieving high grades in Arts and Languages are more significant than the figure for male students, at 30% and 33%.
The proportions of students who achieved high grades in the national average witness a similar trend, but to a lesser extent. Generally, the figures for male and female students who are adept at Math and Science are comparable, the former take up 35% and 33%, compared to 33% and 30% of the latter. However, a noticeable disparity is recorded in the percentage of students attaining high grades in Humanities Subjects, Arts and Languages among males and females. Meanwhile more than one-fourth of female students received high scores in these subjects, the figure for male students recorded lower patterns, ranging from 20% to 26%.
