Number of girls are #655#.

Explanation:

The number of girls at Sky High School is #60# greater than the number of boys.

Therefore, if we take these #60# girls out of #1250# students, in the remaining number of students i.e. #1250-60=1190# students, boys and girls should be equal. Hence number of boys are #1190/2=595#.

Therefore, number of girls are #595+60=655#.
