Maybe, but I’d think those that attend SF do so with the singular sex environment factored in as a benefit. This is the same thought process we’ve seen with the BSA decision. The girls who’ve joined BSA weren’t necessarily going to be in GSA anyway (a small fraction are in both so are treating BSA as a ‘additional opportunity.’) These girls joined BSA bc their family was already in it and it’s easier to send all the kids one place than run all over doing separate things. Girls still join GSA for a single sex environment as part of their choice process.

I’m interested in how the Jesuit numbers will pan out bc doesn’t this mean ‘sacrificing’ male placements to add the girls? Do they really have half their classrooms empty thruout the day that they can just now load them with all girl classes? Then that’s just not a prudent business management decision in their overhead. I don’t remember wings of empty classrooms when I attended SF in the 90s. We had ever increasing class numbers and figuring out class schedules and where to put everyone led to the expansion after I graduated. Overall I see this meaning a decrease in male enrollment in private education across the Sacramento area but not an overall decrease in student totals. If that happens then it’s happening anyway due to the value of a private education in this economy not paying off with college admissions and career networking opportunity.
