US HIGH-SCHOOL PHYSICS ENROLLMENTS AT A POSTWAR HIGH. The percentage of US high-school students taking physics has risen by eight percent in the last decade, reaching an all-time high of 28% since the end of World War II. In the late 1990s, girls now represent almost half (47%) of students taking high-school physics (as opposed to 39% in 1987). However, African-American and Hispanic students remain underrepresented in physics classes; the same holds true for women and non-white physics teachers. These statistics come from a new AIP report entitled "Maintaining Momentum: High School Physics For A New Millennium." (Contact Mark McFarling at mmcfarli@aip.org.
