The parent body is all types. From shpitzels to very modern & everything in between. They cater towards girls that don't fit in to the mainstream chassidish school system.

Thanks. What's the academic level? Is it intense or not as focused on academics?

One more question: Is this Mrs Retek's high school?

It's an exceptional school.
Very nice parent body.
Because the focus is not academics (although they do offer a TTI track) many girls find it appealing.
I think it's wrong to say it's not for mainstream girls. Some girls are maybe not academically inclined. But they focus very much on Hashkofah and building up each girl, lots of focus on talents and hands on, that many girls are attracted to such a place, including academically inclined students.

Which camp do girls from this school go to? Do chassidish camps tend to give them a hard time getting in?
I've heard nice things about the school but I just worry that my daughter will be given a hard time. My daughter is coming from a neutral chassidish school and we've dealt with this before.

I would rephrase. They follow a different path than the mainstream school system. Their girls can fit into other mainstream schools, for the most part. Their focus is not on academics. I see someone above mentioned that they offer a bachelor's track for those looking to focus on academics.
They have a nice mix. I know some graduates personally. Exceptional girls.

I know girls in Chaya Sura, Baiseinu
Be aware that this year many girls had a hard time getting into camps unless they were previous campers.
Girls get into nice seminaries too.

Nowadays, it's hard in general go get accepted in to camp. The camps are full and don't have space.
Your daughter shouldn't have a harder time getting in to Adas, Chaya Sara.... than girls from other schools.
