In northeast Georgia, Barrow County schools are adding more single-gender classes. After seeing success with a pilot program this year at Winder-Barrow Middle School, the superintendent says he is considering starting all-girl and all-boy classes at three other schools. District officials say students in the single-sex classes improved their math scores on the Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests, while students from mixed-gender classes did not do as well. About 10 districts in Georgia offer single-gender classes.
