I don't know what the percentage is in my high school chapter, but it is tenfold (or more) what it was when I started (late '80s). I'm estatic, because I've always thought we needed more women officials, for various reasons.
The only problems I have with women officials are dressing facilities when the school(s) haven't thought that out too clearly. But then, it isn't a problem with the women, just the situation.
I'd sooner work many a boys 5A (big school) varsity or college game with several women officials than a whole lot of men officials I've called with over the years.
