Claim:
Though single-sex schools achieve better test scores thatn co-educational, the differences are so minute and there are other factors that come into play

Evidence:
The authors performed an experiment using a method of a questionaire to 100 students in all single-sex schools (both male and female schools) and co-educational.

I believe this is a credible source because the authors had a hypothisis and made an experiment to test and get results that would help them to decide which is better of the two kinds of schools
