Single Sex Math Classes: What and for Whom? One School's Experiences.

Durost, Richard A.

NASSP Bulletin, v80 n577 p27-31 Feb 1996

Presque Isle (Maine) High School has offered a section of all-girls algebra for seven years. The intent was to narrow the gap between 11th-grade boys' and girls' math achievement scores and create a more comfortable learning atmosphere for girls. The achievement score gap has decreased from 72 to 16 points. (MLH)
