From Wikipedia's article on vocal range:
Soprano: C4 – C6
Mezzo-soprano: A3 – A5
Contralto: F3 – F5
Tenor: C3 – C5
Baritone: A2/G2 – A4/G4
Bass: E2 – E4

Look at those and your comments below. Write parts that stay within the traditional ranges and you should be fine.

I can't seem to get the sopranos to go any lower than D4 (above Middle C), and I can't get the tenors to go any lower than C3. Nor can I get the basses to go any higher than D4 (above Middle C). I wonder, what do you suppose is the professional range for Mezzo Sopranos and Baritones? How about the other voices? Also, is the range for Boys Choir the same as the range for Girls Choir? I'm confused!
