[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Short answer is yes.  There will always be kids and families drawn to single sex but way more want coed.  My daughter was 100 not interested.  My son was ambivalent but preferred coed.  From our k-8 the majority went coed.  But the upside of many single sex schools for high school is that the entire class is new.  So less “breaking in” social.  But my kids wanted dances and football and homecoming and the normal high school stuff that really comes from coed.  And I think most kids want that as well.[/quote]

Not my experience at all with 4 different single sex high schools. 2 boy, and 2 girl. The girls school cheered for the boys high school football games, they had joint homecoming dances, several mixers, and even some classes overlap like orchestra and theater. If there was a class offered and one but not the other they could take it. Pretty much a normal high school experience except most of the day to day classes are single sex of which there are many advantages.[/quote]
