I can't answer the general question about single-sex and mixed schools - I went to a single-sex school where bullying was rife and the queen bee mentality was encouraged by the school staff as a way of managing pupils. But so many of my school experiences are unthinkable now and teaching/schools in general are so much better, I assume those things are less likely than they were.
On the distractions of a mixed school, both my children (one ds and one dd) attend a mixed school and really it isn't an issue. They both have friends amongst both genders. Generally the girls do a bit better than the boys as a rule but I think that's often the case. I really like the fact that they're not at single sex schools but I have friends whose children are and they also seem happy with them.
