Summary/Direct Quote
Electroencephalogram patterns of a 17-year-old boy's brain resembled those of an 11-year-old girl.

The all-girls' group was described as neat, organized, well-mannered, hardworking, and seeming to bring out the best in each other. The all-boys' group was more active than the all girls' or coed group. In same- sex classes, achievement and test scores improved. The math/social studies teacher recommended same- sex educational settings.

As 97% of boys in the single - sex group were at advanced and proficient levels, 3% were at minimal and basic levels; 85% of boys in the mixed group were at the advanced and proficient levels, while 15% were at the minimal and basic levels. As 94% of boys not included in the study were at advanced and proficient levels, 6% were at minimal and basic levels. Comparing reading scores of boys in the single - sex group (97%) with those in the mixed group (85%), results do reflect a difference.
