Just curious, have the posters who want their girls at all-girls schools attended an all-girls school? I have many friends who attended an all-girls high-school (15-20 years ago), and (more recently) some who attended an all-girls middle-school/high school. The main bonus was they didn't have pressure to put on make up to impress anyone. The GT girls suffered - the schools were not geared toward GT, and they felt that all the girls were smart. There were all kinds of nasty cliques as well. None of these friends who have daughters have sent them to all-girls schools. (Not personal experience, I know, but just thought I'd throw that out there.)
ETA: I recommend asking to see if you can get some names of some HG girls who have graduated from the private school you're investigating, so you can ask them how it was for them.
