All high schools have students who party and drink. This behavior is hardly endemic to all girls school.

Two graduates of Stone Ridge in the past several years. There were plenty of non-partiers. Each class is large enough to have many groups of girls.

There are plenty of non partiers at Holton too, including my DD. Honestly, all schools support girls who don't want to party. Holton has a zero tolerance policy as far as alcohol goes (obviously) and I've seen it in action (I don't want to disclose more). The schools do everything in their power to dissuade them (you can ask the schools about the various initiatives they organize to discourage drinking), so all you can do is hope your daughter chooses the right peer group.

Yes NCS!
The girls are cute and nice, but they work their assess off and don’t have time for much partying or drinking.

NCS is overwhelmingly non-partiers.

Agree with the others that you will find a few per grade at any school. What you want to avoid is a critical mass which is somewhat hard to predict because it varies by grade. However, they do seem to congregate at SR.

After reading the SR thread you assume SR has a party culture? Give me a break! Every year around admission time you will see threads about NCS, Holton, SR, and Visi that may not be positive. Other parents don't want you to apply so it gives their daughter a better chance at getting in and people like you fall for it everytime! These schools are compenetive and have long waitlist every year. This is DC people, wake up.

Truthfully, I think it exists at most schools, you just have to hope your daughter navigates to the non-drinking/partying people, who do exist.

Seton is notorious for being stoned and drunk party girls.

OP here. Should have added that we are also looking for strong college matriculations. Do the two co-exist?
