I did some digging and found actual stats. The number of kids identified as gifted/talented throughout the district (not just the program that DD is in) is almost 2/3 boys. There are no significant differences between reading/math achievement scores and gender. I couldn't find stats on the CogAT but that has to be what is causing more boys to be identified. It's sad because the stats show that the girls are actually outperforming boys in terms of classroom grades.
