[quote=Anonymous]Hello DCUM community,

Looking for suggestions for what private high school might be good for high school for my DD. There's a lot of knowledge and experience on this board and I'm hoping you might help me learn more about the options that are out there that we haven't considered yet.

DD is a rising 9th grader who is wait listed at GDS and her options now are to go to Wilson and possibly Walls, which we are waiting to hear from. She is a straight A student, but hasn't have to work hard for her A's in DCPS. She has been frustrated by the lack of academic challenge since elementary school but has enjoyed some good teachers. She loves math and science and I was distressed to hear that Wilson has a really weak math department. We visited WIS, Field, St John's and GDS and but only applied to GDS. I am regretting we did not have her apply to more schools, so want to do some research for next year. What she's really looking for is an academic challenge and a chance to explore intellectually. Our family tends towards progressive schools and an environment that is  unpretentious (if possible).

Thanks for your suggestions![/quote]
