It's the local girls high school here in Phoenix. It's a community school, so they cater mostly to the local girls. It's small (about 30 girls), and the girls come from varied backgrounds. They work with each girl individually. I noticed their student handbook posted on their website, so that may give you a small picture. I don't know what their policy is on out of towners, but give Rabbi Landesman a call!

One of my frequent shabbos guests went there for 10th grade. She has nice things to say about the school: sounds like a typical OOT girls high school: girls from various backgrounds, with a staff that's warm and tries to relate to each girl on their own level. The one thing that became an issue for this girl was boarding--- for whatever reason, there was/is a difficulty in finding enough host families for the girls from outside of Phoenix. This led her leave, and come to my city.... this could have changed in the past year or so, but you need to do some thorough investigation to make sure your daughter won't be bounced about from house to house.
You can PM me if you want more info.
