I have to agree to this , i have to mention that i am just now in my last semester for my bachelor , and my school life is now only about 2 years in the past and I am from Germany so may be still different from the experiences in other countrys. What I recall is that most of the time the absolut top performers have been men and not woman , but contrary to this I dont really recall many woman being at the bottom of the class in any subject. This effect i woud say was because most of the girls did almost all assignments and maybe tried to not leave the given path in a way, but also did not try to stand out that much so they were willing to work more for school. While the boys generally were good in some subjekt and focused on their strengths but we were not as willing to pull up our efforts in those subjects we thought of as not really needed for our future.

I really can relate with this I since I myself was really strong in all science and math related subjects as well as in english and art... but regarding languages like latin i did fail , sometimes even handing in a completly white paper, since i could choose which subjekts were going to count in my Abitur ( think of it as A levels ).
