 * White, average or high-achieving students of both genders were more likely to choose to attend the academies, though some districts encouraged low-achieving, low-income or minority students to enroll.
 * Traditional gender stereotypes were often reinforced in single-sex academies. Boys tended to be taught in more regimented, traditional and individualistic fashion and girls in more nurturing, cooperative and open environments.
 * Students received mixed messages about gender. While both were told women could be anything they want, girls were made aware of restrictions on their behavior reinforced through expectations about clothing and appearance. Boys were led to assume that men are primary wage earners, that they should be strong and take care of their wives who were emotionally weaker.
 * The creation of separate academies for boys and girls on the same campus led to a dichotomous understanding of gender, in which girls were seen as "good" and boys were seen as "bad."
 * The elimination of classroom distractions from members of the opposite sex was academically beneficial to some students. But students still experienced harassment and teasing in coeducational spaces of single-gender academies. Girls received unwanted comments and were touched while they were in coeducational spaces. Students not in the academies teased those who were enrolled, calling them "bad" kids, "preppy" or most commonly "gay."
 * Public, single-sex academies were not sustainable under California's policy framework.

Single-sex schools promote social issues within the social classroom and life. Should not be the cause of the students but the teachers and the environment that they work with. The unequality plays a role and shuns different insights for particular views.
