The Impact of Single-Gender High Schools on Students’ 
Transition to College and First-Year Development 

Linda J. Sax, Principal Investigator

Funded by the American Association of University Women (AAUW), this study will inform the policy discussions regarding single-gender public and private secondary schooling. CIRP Freshman Survey data from Fall 2005 will be used to follow students from single-gender high schools through their first year of college, and 2006 YFCY data will be used for longitudinal assessment of the effects of single-gender school attendance on students’ transition to college as well as their adjustment, performance, satisfaction, and development over the first college year.
