Gender exclusive schools, (some academies or finishing school) offer a more focused environment. Since teens and beyond is also the time most young adults become interested in sex, removing the temptation is helpful.

I went to a big party school, a few friends went to the more private (exclusive) schools. I feel I got a better idea of how the world works because I had so much social interaction. Schooling is so much more than math tests, it's how you relate to people. you can be a genius, but if you can't talk to people, you're nothing. I'd be careful about small schools, not a lot of people, not a lot of ideas.

I went to a women's college, and I think that the advantage was that the girls got their fair share of class time. In co-ed classes, the boys get far more attention from teachers/professors than girls do. Boys speak up more. If girls do speak up, they often preface their answer with something like "This might be wrong but..." or "This is just my opinion, but..."
At my college there was none of that. I did take a few classes at nearby coed schools, and it drove me nuts that girls in those classes acted so silly.

I also went to a women's college, and I loved it. It was great for an undergrad science education - all the resources were there for you, and you didn't need to fight the guys for time on the equipment (like I have to do now in grad school). Also, the professors (male and female) know how to teach and relate to women, which REALLY makes a difference. And they are more likely to hire qualified women faculty (which is lacking at other schools).

Less distraction on wooing or impressing members of the opposite sex ===> More focus on your studies.
