[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two sons in all-boys Catholic schools- one graduated and one still attending.

Wonderful experience for both of them. Went to public elementary/middle and the oldest went to co-ed college. No problems adjusting.

I know the question was about boys schools. Will give some perspective about all-girls for my daughters. They could not have had a better experience and went to T10 co-ed colleges.

There is data supporting single sex for girls. Both have STEM degrees and the 4 years of high school allowed them to develop confidence and find their voice, which I do not think would have happened in a co-ed environment for them.

Why do you think that wouldn't have happened in one of the best high schools in the country, which are coed?[/quote]

Because they went to school with boys from K-8 and are quiet. Boys don’t listen to girls. That starts early. Instead of arguing, my girls stopped engaging.

4 years with smart peers who didn’t talk over them and ignore them has them the confidence to speak their mind by the time they went to college.

The data supports single sex education for girls and my family’s experience aligns with those facts.

It was transformative. [/quote]
The data i have seen shows some support for girls.   The same data showed that coed is better for boys.  This thread is about all boys schools.[/quote]

A coed open admissions public school is definitely better for boys vs all-boys same. In terms of highly-curated/elite private schools, it’s more or a case-by-case. [/quote]
