There are several girls who are out in my DD's class at NCS (and I'm not PP). Also teachers. I think the best school for OP's DD will depend on other factors as well. Does she want a more progressive school? What are her interests? |

| In this case, I think public is the way to go. They're larger, more diverse (in most cases), and have gay alliances. |

Ditto. They have a gay-straight alliance as well. The school's philosophy is focused on acceptance in general. |

| Many of the city schools (Sidwell, WIS, Maret, Georgetown Day, Field, Burke) would be welcoming. |

| Maybe I'm off base here but might bullying be more prevalent at publics due to the larger size/reduced sense of community? |

| Since the OP posted here they are probably looking for a private rather than a public school. Otherwise they would have posted this on the Public school forum |
