Abstract: Self-esteem development is widely considered to be an important outcome of both single-sex and coeducational school education. However, research supporting single-sex or coeducational schools revealed inconclusive findings towards the effects on students’ self-esteem. By using the meta-analysis method, the present study aimed to synthesize prior studies by collecting and analyzing data from 6 pieces of literature that include 14 effects with 9463 participants. The results indicated that there is no significant difference in students’ self-esteem between single-sex and coeducational schools. The results also showed that the age group of the students play a moderating role in the association between self-esteem and classroom gender composition, while gender does not.
