I went to an all girls' high school: THE Mary Louis Academy. It's the best all girls' Catholic HS in Queens, NY. We are a very proud pedigree. You are a Mary Louis girl for life and you never forget it.
I posted this somewhere else on here, but I wouldn't trade that education for ANYTHING! In fact, I wish I had taken more advantage of it. I loved the spirit of sisterly love in my HS and it's what made me want to be in a sorority. The nuns were nice. My dean and principal were nice. I loved uniforms. I was a very overweight kid, so uniforms minimized the inevitable clothes problem I would have had, trying to fit in with the popular styles. I was liked for who I was. Being smart was an asset, and there was never any backstabbing. We felt confident to excel. There wasn't the pressure to not answer the teacher b/c "boys" were around.
I don't think I missed out on anything at all. My kids will go to a single sex school. I HIGHLY suggest it. I think this is the best time to separate the kids. We did interact with the all boys' school, all the time, matter of fact. We went over there for club exchanges, play auditions, everything. It wasn't a boarding school, so we weren't sheltered. We were praised for being intelligent women and the teachers wanted to see us succeed. That's what I loved the most!
GO SINGLE SEX EDUCATION!!!!
