MIDDLETON - It's a classroom like any other - paper, pencils, boys, boys and yes, more boys.

Their teacher, Stephanie Burke, a student at The College of Idaho calls them "gentlemen."

Burke says teaching a single-gender classroom is a great learning environment and the response has been positive.

"Overall the response is pretty outstanding," said Burke.

Test scores show that it's working.

"The single gender classrooms outperformed in 11 out of 12 categories," said Robin Gilbert, principal.

While the curriculum is the same, the way it's presented is very different between genders.

"For the boys classroom we do more competition stuff - it increases their focus and increases their participation," said Burke.

They take every detail into consideration, some students prefer to learn standing up, so they get a taller desk.

Also, boys focus better in a blue tinted light, for girls it's a bit more yellow.

The temperature of the room is also considered, for girls it's at 72 degrees, but for boys and a bit colder at 68.

"It was kind of funny a lot of the dad's were [telling their wives] I told you that's why i can't have the house so hot, I can't focus," Burke said.

Burke also said some parents have expressed concern that their children might not be growing socially. She assured them the kids have social time together during lunch and recess.

Furthermore, the classes are by choice only, parents can move their children to a mixed gender classroom if they prefer.

All this effort in hopes that later in life these kids might be the head of the class.
