Scandinavian countries have some of the largest gender gaps in the world. These countries score higher than the US, but the difference is only found in girls. Boys only do as well as boys in the US:

Finland had the largest gender gap on the 2012 PISA, twice that of the U.S., with females outscoring males by an astonishing 62 points (0.66 SDs). Finnish girls scored 556, and boys scored 494. To put this gap in perspective, consider that Finland’s renowned superiority on PISA tests is completely dependent on Finnish girls. Finland’s boys’ score of 494 is about the same as the international average of 496, and not much above the OECD average for males (478). The reading performance of Finnish boys is not statistically significantly different from boys in the U.S. (482) or from the average U.S. student, both boys and girls (498). Finnish superiority in reading only exists among females.

There is a hint of a geographical pattern. Northern European countries tend to have larger gender gaps in reading. Finland, Sweden, Iceland, and Norway have four of the six largest gaps.

These countries also have a large university gender gap- men are significantly less likely to attend university.
