I don't want to speak for all all boys schools but some can't have attractive female teachers for obvious reasons. Just keeping it real.

Hah!

I went to an all girls school, it really helps with focus. However, many from all girls or all boys school lose focus in college when they get first exposure to mixed gender cohort.

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.

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.

Given the long standing commitment and support of our Jesuit school from alumni, I think the numbers speak for themselves.

Those alumni attended in a different era, when less was expected of men in this respect over the long haul.

“Less was expected?”

You haven’t known many old-timey Jesuits, have you?

Emphasis on "in this respect." The issue at hand being operating in a world where men & women have to function together in college, university, and the workplace. Old-timey Jesuits aren't exactly known for having had much experience with any of that, whatever their other accomplishments may have been, historically.

There is co-ed faculty at our boys' school. I know my son is learning a ton from his ELA teacher. She's one of those harsh but fair types and she's great at teaching the fundamentals of good writing which seems to be a lost art. He has other female teachers but this one in particular stands out. Not sure what the staff ratio is but there are plenty of female staffers in various teaching, admin and support roles.

Do you think there’s a difference between all boys schools with both men and women teaching versus just men?

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.

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.

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.

You want a discussion where you ask all the questions? That's a cross examination not a discussion. Since you're introduced anecdotes, I can provide some of my own. But I don't work for you or owe you data.

Not all boys thrive in a “boys will be boys” environment, and that’s ok. There are other schools to pick from.

Again, I’ll only speak on my perspective but my son is thriving at an all boys schools and has come out of his shell. Again, not every kid is the same. My son got into other coed schools in the area that I think are also very good jut not good for him. Again, every kid is different and I think it depends on the type of all boys school. They have all different types of boys there that are into art, music, sports, STEAM, debate you pick. He’s trying things that I know 100% he wouldn’t do in a coed school, so for us that’s a big factor.
