the claim

Boys in the US have lower high school graduation rates than girls.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
6 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that boys in the US have lower high school graduation rates than girls?

Unclear. Several sources report national figures from the class of 2003 showing girls graduating high school at higher rates than boys (about 72 percent versus 65 percent), and one dissertation notes a general female advantage in educational attainment. These cover a single cohort and do not establish the claim as a current, general statement.
