Do you know anything about this school?
1. Are they warm and loving
2. What is their current parent body like?
3. What are their hashkafos
4. Are they very focused on academics ? Or are they focused on middos? Or both?
5. Do you know anyone that sends there and if yes, are they happy with the school?

Any or all answers are greatly appreciated.

Is the school student body similar to the flatbush one? Is that their goal?

It's not a chassidish school though. It's a regular Bais Yaakov. The two ppl that I know of who send there are litvish or yeshivish.

What I've heard and seen is that it's similar hashkafically to Ateres and some of the parent body in YSV (but that's a huge range so not so helpful)

The first year they opened and accepted everyone including chassidim because they needed to fill up the classes. The second year around when I tried registering my daughter, they sent me an application and schlepped me around for months, I kept calling and calling and they kept saying they are finding out info on us. Finally after 4 months when I called yet again the secretary stammered and said “we don’t accept chassidim at this time, why don’t you go and try something else?” TYH we were not accepted because I would not want my child in a school that has no ahavas Yisroel.

While I understand that you're upset, this does not show a lack of ahavas yisroel. Just like chassidish schools won't accept non chassidish kids, non chassidish schools won't accept chassidish kids. We need to send where we belong.
I do think though that they just told it to you as an excuse because I know chassidish girls that have been accepted there in the past few years. They accept good stable torah'dig chassidish families. They don't accept chassidish girls that come from homes that are shifting away from chassidish and changing their lifestyle. (Aka cool/modern chassidish.)
