I taught high school during the pandemic. Boys are, in general, are more drawn to technology. Some of the girl who excelled when we had in-person learning struggled with distance learning, and some of the boys that struggled in class (especially with classes early in the day) excelled with distance learning (and the log indicated they were doing much of the school work late in the evening.

My observations, of course, are anecdotal, but I shared my experiences with colleagues and several had similar observations, but of course it was likely we were looking at the same cohort.

Another factor worth considering that might indicate why some students performed better with distance-learning then having in-person class sessions is that regardless of gender, typically people in general perform better at tests, class assignments, writing or composing essays when their not surrounded by a bunch of people and there isn't this rigid, imposed time class limit (2 hours or less, etc.) hurrying them up or compelling HS/college students to rush their responses or answers even if their sufficiently prepared by studying in advance.
