[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is in her first year at SR (9th grade) and is v concerned about the lack of social life.  Girls are so spread out geographically that it's difficult for them to get together on the weekends.  Wondering if anyone has had a similar experience there, and if the situation improves sophomore year.  They have hosted exactly one dance for ninth graders, and there was a mixer at Prep.  But that's it.  DD is concerned that the next three years will be similar and is having second thoughts about staying.  Thoughts?[/quote]

My DD is a junior there. She loves it.

If your DD is looking for more of a public school hangout after school every day kind of atmosphere she won't find that at SR. But is that what you want for your daughter? To us that's one of the big pluses of the school.
My DD plays a sport a season (there are many no cut sports) and also does things like volunteers for best buddies or Special Olympics swim team. 
The sports provide much social time and fun. The swim team, for instance, is planning a trip to New York City next year.
The  volunteering includes boys from schools like Prep so that can be nice. What about theater is she interested in that ? I've heard that theater can be very social.

Winter Ball was yesterday and the girls seemed to have a lot of fun.

I'm sure the school could improve on it some and add another mixer or two but mostly they focus on the academics and service which is fine by us.
