"But what stood out most about the free public charter school was that it offered a high-quality education in an all-girls setting designed to build confidence, leadership, and academic ambition without the social pressures typically found in a co-ed setting. "I chose this school because only girls come, and you know sometimes boys are a little more mischievous, and they don't focus on what the teacher is saying in class and everything," Avila said."
"Research collected by the National Coalition of Girls' Schools found that students who graduated from all-girls schools were more likely than those attending coeducational schools to impact their communities, perform better academically, consider majoring in math, science, or technology, and have higher aspirations and greater motivation. Kim Perez, the Principal of Excellence Girls, sees the impact every day. "Every time I enter my school, I see the girls walking with so much pride and confidence," Perez said."
