[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on the class size.  Its no big deal if there's 100 kids in the grade but is a problem if its only 25.  My DD goes to a small private and her grade in middle school is very gender imbalanced (more boys than girls, although its more 75/25).  It is a problem socially as well as academically.  If we would have known going in that it would be the case, we would have chosen another school.  [/quote]

OP here- Could you tell me more about the academic issues that arise from the gender imbalance at your DD's school? I'm considering sending my DD to a school known for the academics, and I hadn't considered that a different gender imbalance might affect her academically.

Socially, I'm not sure it could be any worse than her current school, which has a lot more girls than boys, and all the drama that arises from that. Academically, she runs circles around the other kids and says everything is too easy and boring (which is probably a major source of her social troubles.)[/quote]
