I have Excel so I did download the add-on and it was easy to use. It appears that the average score for males across the country was 261.5 and the average score for females across the country was 271.6 which appears to indicate that girls scored higher than the boys on this reading assessment. I really wonder if it is just that girls read more on their own time than boys do at this age.
In Virginia, the stats show that we did better than the national average. The male average was 262.5 and the female average was 272.9. Virginia ranked 24th from the top and 29th from the bottom. I would be curious to learn what Massachusetts and New Jersey do differently from other schools across the nation.
Here is my scatterplot chart:
