[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if your daughter is interested in STEM, look at the number of course offerings. It is very limited at Oakcrest and was one of the deciding factors for my DD to attend another school that had a more robust offering of STEM courses.[/quote]

Lol. My Oakcrest alum is a hard science major and minor at a sought after instate school in Virginia. And she is far from the only one. In her class, there are students in nursing programs, engineering schools, Ivy League schools, and other colleges that other people think are important. In the class ahead of her, there are students who are going to graduate from service academies and who have been accepted into 4+1 engineering degree plus masters programs. Her science teachers had masters degrees or a PhD and Oakcrest was the first ever all girls school and all girls team to earn a spot at the Virginia Science Olympiad competition. And they often compete again Thomas Jefferson at their regionals. They earned a spot in the state tournament 3 years in a row the last time I paid attention.
