It depends who you ask. Some former students of such schools say they are a bad idea. So does the American Civil Liberties Union. They say such schools reinforce gender stereotypes, make it harder on LGBT and gender variant youth, and rob students of exposure to ideas and behaviors outside of their own.

However, such schools have their advantages. None of the students feel they must impress those of the other sex. So they are more free to concentrate and get on with their studies.

Boys in single gender schools won't have to put up with taunts from girl bullies and condescension and malicious nurturing traits from girl students. They won't have to put up with sexism from female teachers who are partial to female students.

For girls, there is less pressure to look sexy and less pressure to have sex. There is also less risk of being sexually assaulted or violently attacked by male students. They have more chances to speak up in class and are not taught by the domination of male students that speaking up is a boy's thing. They will be more free to pursue science, politics, and sports without accusations of being nerds nor sexual-based accusations.

For students who are serious about an interest or a career track, such schools sometimes help if such interests are part of the curriculum. Of course, magnet schools might be a better idea, where students are segregated by interests and IQ, not gender.
