Should girls go to school only with other girls? Is it better for boys to attend all - boy schools? Educators at school for girls in Washington D. C. believe children in classes of the same sex do better, But Other experts say there is no real evidence to support that idea. They believe there are other more important things that make a school effective.

Excel Academy is the first all-girl school in Washington, D. C. that is independently operated and supported by taxpayers. It was established in 2007 and opened its doors in 2008. The Excel Academy provides free education to children from families without much money. It serves more that 600 girls from preschool, the youngest children to grade five. Three meals are serves each day. One of its students is 10-yar-oldAnyrech,who attended kindergarten in a classroom with boys. She says boys have different interests from girls. She's now at Excel for the following five years .“They would like to tell me that I can do it make me feel like I'm loved ang that I'm the smarter person in the world.”

Kaye Savage established the school . She says that when boys and girls are taught together, the teachers teach for the boys. She says boys are a little louder and much more active than the girls，which makes girls second - class citizens in their awn classrooms and schools. But Galen Sherwin ax the American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU, disagrees. She says the evidence ,in her words，is not really there to support claims that same sex classrooms produce better results. “ Similarities between boys and girls are much greater and more relevant than any differences. Certainly any differences that exist are not relevant from an educational viewpoint，” Sherwin said.

Elaine Weiss is an education expert. She believes other considerations besides same sex classes have a bigger effect on children 's success in school. She says everything that happens in children's early development is important. “ Some of the early gap should be dealt with before Lids get to kindergarten. The classes should be relatively small, so that teachers can have a one - on - one conversation and interaction with students. And after - school opportunities should be enriched，” Weiss said.
