GracieLizzie: I went to one of these in secondary school, as Britain allows for state faith schools it was state funded and wasn't quite as fancy as an ElaborateUniversityHigh. However it did have a very good reputation and a somewhat more stand out school uniform than usual. No AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil, and most of the girls that went where rather boy crazy (one of her friends from secondary school days is bi but it's purely coincidental) so there wasn't exactly lesbian romances popping up everywhere - I think the nuns would have objected.

This troper went to an all boys secondary school which had its Distaff counterpart nearby but didn't intergrate the classes until sixth form. The school was rediculously reputable, but was full of insufferable dickheads. I theorise the lack of female presence was an absent controlling factor, in other words there were no women for blokes to try and impress, leading to rampant assholishness. Homosexuality wasn't present, though there were one or two who used camp-gay stereotypes as a trolling technique. It lead to me being socially stunted and having horrendous self esteem, fuck the lot of them.

This troper's school was similar to that, but also had a comprehensive in the same town. There was some homosexuality at my school though. Some bisexuality too, which included this troper (I was about the only one open about it though).

This Troper went to one that had it's female counterpart quite literally ''right'' next door. They shared a teacher's car park and the girl's school often borrowed one of our sports ovals when we weren't using it. They also collaborated every year on an open to the public musical production. The primary school section was mixed gender though.

This troper's grade school was an all-girls school, and a very sheltered one at that. Instead of being boy crazy, my fellow students were girl-crazy.

This troper's brothers went to an all-boy's Catholic high school (before it went co-ed).

If you'll believe it (and you won't, because, you know, it's Troper Tales), I and about twenty other boys attended a girl's school for two years due to it being the only school nearby that offered the IB program. No, that didn't happen, and neither did that.

This troper has an...odd example, in that the school is only ''partially'' a one-gender school: it's a K-12 school, but it's an all-girls school for grades 7-12 only--thus separating the sexes right when their hormones should be kicking in. It's actually quite an ingenious setup, come to think of it... (Luckily, this was ''not'' the school I went to.)

Not completely unusual. As I mentioned about (the one with the two sharing a parking lot) the all girls school next door had a co-ed primary (or elementary if you prefer) school division with the all boy's high school run by a separate group. The same town has developed an even odder example. My school and its sister school were religious ones, though run by separate groups, but the same town also has two Grammar schools, both traditionally single gender. Both have recently expanded to contain primary schools (Prep-7) but while the all male one has remained all male throughout all grades the girl's school, explicitly named Girl's Grammar, not takes boys for Prep-4.

This troper attends an all-girls school. If you'll believe some of the students (and all my classmates when I was a year 7 and about to graduate PS) it's chock full of lesbians. I'm bisexual and would like to know where this apparent lesbian infestation is, because everyone vehemetly denies they're one.

I attended a women's college, which really WAS full of lesbian and bisexual students (including me). Certainly not everyone, though.
