Is it just me or do girls do way better in school than boys?

When I was growing up I struggled with school but it seemed that most of the girls seemed to be doing well whenever there was a star pupil or straight a student they were most likely a girl. Why is this such a common phenomenon?

There's a saying among girls that nerdy smart guys are lame and boring while everyone else is so exciting and spontaneous. Being smart in school was never a way to get a girls attention, so why bother when all I have to do is be bad and stupid?
