Don’t feed the “is ____ woke” poster. They never define their terms, and they ask it about so many random schools that they are likely either a bot or have the curiosity of one.

OP, I don’t know if a 3.3 at your kid’s high school puts schools like Oberlin or Haverford within reach. Those might be worth a look. Bryn Mawr is also a good suggestion in that range.
Also you should spend a bit of time looking at the size-adjusted PhD feeder list for STEM subjects. Even if your kid doesn’t want to get a PhD, it will give you a pretty good sense of which smaller, lesser-known schools are preparing students especially well in the STEM subjects. There are a number of schools that appear repeatedly on the size-adjusted STEM lists that are good targets for your kid. https://www.collegetransitions.com/dataverse/top-feeders-phd-programs/
For example Kalamazoo College is on the PhD feeder list for biology, chemistry, physics, and math.
Whitman College might be a reach (might depend on the high school?) but is also a top PhD feeder for biology, chemistry, physics, and math.
Schools that are feeders for 3 of 4 of those subjects include Allegheny, St Olaf, Hendrix, and Juniata.
Depending on the subject, Lawrence or Beloit or Wooster might be a fit. And while many think of St Johns College as a humanities school, they build scientific knowledge from the ground up, tracing the history of scientific achievement, which works well for some students— and they make the cut for physics and math, so that might be a good fit too.
Lots of great options. Best of luck.
