I went to a private, single-sex school (although in the UK we call them public schools) and the education was certainly of a much higher standard than that of the vast majority of state funded schools.
However, I believe the difference was due to greater discipline, superior facilities and because the school could hire the best teachers. I also spent more hours in school and got more homework than friends in state schools.
Because my school since has since gone co-ed without any apparent effect on educational standards, I cannot argue any benefit from segregation.

bingo, people see a correlation that isn't there. the better quality education is correlated with other factors and not segregation.
