This study began in 2002, and ELS collected information from students, their parents, librarians and teachers for 15,000 American high school students. At this time, the mathematics teacher showed that "Students are entering the class that fits their abilities, studying is too difficult or too easy". "There is a possibility that the teacher's prejudice against white girl students is not consciously noticed, but in most cases it is subtle, but according to findings in the research it certainly exists," Riegle-Crumb says.

On the other hand, no such difference was found between white and minority students (blacks and Hispanics). In fact, mathematics teachers are friendly to black girls students, and they say that they are appreciated higher than actual results in math classes. According to the researchers, it seems that the teacher thinks that they are succeeding in mathematics as they are in a high level course because the black girl students have rarely entered high level math classes. Also, teachers tend to give more consideration to prejudice against race than prejudice against gender. Researchers explain that prejudice against gender is deeply immersed in society, so it is difficult to notice, and hence resistance is difficult.
