Using multilevel analysis on a sample of Israeli academic - track twelfth graders in 1989, the article examines between - school variation in gender and ethnic inequality in course taking of two scientific subjects, physics and biology. The main findings are that : (1) the sciences are taken less often by students of the underprivileged Jewish ethnic group, and this inequality is more acute in schools that use math as a filter, and (2) physics is taken more often by males, and biology by females. The gender typing of the sciences is particularly prominent in math - oriented schools. The social implications of the findings are discussed.
