<p>My DS went to an all boy Jr. BS. The academics, sports and some ECs were good, but the culture was VERY boy, with a lot of student pressure to conform on every way (dress a certain way, talk sports in a certain way, very physical). That meant that some boys fit in VERY well and others not so much, and faced some isolation and some bullying. That’s just to say it totally depends on the kid-- some fit, some don’t. To be fair, this was a junior BS, and high school age might just be different. It was all ok for my son, but he’s much happier now at a coed school, which is much more diverse culturally and much more accepting of all kinds of kids. Just do your homework-- really talk to people who go to the schools you’re looking at and try to visit more extensively than just taking a half hour tour.</p>
