Huntington Schools Approve Single-Gender Classes

The Huntington County Community Schools board has approved a pilot program to create separate middle school language classes for boys and girls. Teachers and administrators at Riverview Middle School will randomly select 25 sixth-grade boys and girls and put them in separate language arts classes. Officials hope the approach will improve the school’s ISTEP tests, especially among boys, who have been doing far worse on the test than girls at the school.
