* Creating example dataset
clear
set obs 20
set seed 123
gen school=ceil(_n/5)
gen gender=uniform()>0.5
gen grad=uniform()>0.6
label define gender 0 Fem 1 Male
label values gender gender
* Answer
tab school grad if gender==1
-----------------
So, just use the -tab- command, and you will get how many males

(Note that it doesn't works if there were no males in one school)
