Same Sex Classrooms Graded
The Erie School District says putting fifth grade boys and girls in seperate classes this year enhanced classroom performance.
Monday, the district began analyzing the results of a new report on the same sex classrooms at McKinley Elementary School.
Boys and girls in the fifth grade were seperated during the 2005-2006 school year.
Superintendent Jim Barker says the study proves that both groups out-performed other comparable groups.
That means the district will continue the program this year.
