[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In laws all went to single-sex Catholic high schools. I would say the ranking from least well adjusted to more normal is:

-boys without sisters
-girls without brothers
-girls with brothers / boys with sisters

The boys from all-boy families who went to all-boys schools are clueless about women.

This resonates with me. My brother has 2 boys, and they go to an all-boys Catholic HS, and both play baseball. He/they would say it is a very positive experience. They love the community and camaraderie, and I can see it through the photos he shares, social media, etc. But, the boys are also in the 'manosphere' culture, which they are happy with, but wouldn't be a fit for our family.[/quote]
They may love it, but that doesnt mean they are better or better off there.  Have them check in in 20 years and see what they would say.  [/quote]

Given the long standing commitment and support of our Jesuit school from alumni, I think the numbers speak for themselves. [/quote]
So school faculty is here defending their own interests?  OK.  What percentage of kids that go to the school stay at the school?  Not the graduation rate, but the percentage of kids that go and decide it's not better and leave.  What percentages come back for reunions?  Thought this was a forum for parents to discuss this topic.  If the defense of all boys schools is coming from the school (that needs to say it's better for survival), i think we can conclude that coed is better.[/quote]

You want facts? Provide some of your own. I thought we were going off vibes and biases? I went to a large public co-ed high school and hated it and you couldn't pay me to go to a reunion. Hopefully my kids have a better experience. Because "logic" or something.[/quote]
That is the response to very real questions?  Guessing you aren't used to having your authority questioned, but im not one of your students.  You have no power over me.
It has been said that the comparison should Not be between public coed and all boys private.  The comparison is coed private vs all boys private.  And niche.com has the best private schools as overwhelmingly coed.  Tell me why they are wrong.  Give me some "logic" or something.[/quote]
