Paper Summary:
This paper explains that literature is not replete with studies on male and female single gender education as being a better road to college success than coeducational venues; however, available literature is contradictory. The author states that the data will be both historical and numerical, using a testable hypothesis, questionnaire, and statistical data analysis; college success will be defined by freshman year college grade points over four quarters of study wherein at least 12 credit hours were attempted. The paper states that the research variables under consideration will include acquired academic strengths, emotional growth, participatory leadership development, and social connectionism as preparatory measures for success in college or university.

From the Paper:
"Education, albeit public school, private school, or charter school affiliated, is a process whereby the youth of America are provided and opportunity to receive an education in an environment conducive to learning which, in turn, provides the necessary skills and competencies necessary to enter college and be successful. The broadly defined mission of any high school is one of creative growth through social, emotional, and physical development. Although this is sometimes a lofty undertaking, it is one, nonetheless, that is necessary if a successful college education is to be attained. In the twenty first century where mega technology abounds high schools are continually being challenged to prepare students to the rigors of a less supervised, more independent, and more rigorous college experience. In order to meet the challenges high schools, regardless of classification, are put upon to provide students with a learning environment that is wide ranging, socially and academically responsible, and self-motivating.Should these characteristics not be built into the school curriculum, a young student entering college is at a disadvantage and the possibility of failure is increased."
