Abstract
The purpose of this research was to examine the impact of gender-specific classes in regard to student engagement and learning. The study determined student achievement effects, student retention rates, and stakeholder perceptions of student experiences in same-gender classrooms. The introduction provided an overview of the intermediate school's academic gaps. Two quantitative questions and 3 qualitative questions were investigated during the research. The Alabama Reading and Math Test and Software Technology, Inc. were used to collect quantitative data. Also, researcher-developed surveys were given and a case study was conducted of same-gender teachers, students, and parents. Interviews and open-ended questions were utilized to collect qualitative data.
