Schrefer, Eliot - The School for Dangerous Girls : 256 pages, © 2009

Angela is sent to Hidden Oak, a boarding school for "troubled" girls; but the methods of reform here are far worse than anything Angela has ever encountered. Psychological games, blatant physical abuse, starvation, and solitary confinement, and this is only the first month. As Angela goes deeper into the school, she starts to wonder about the classmates that are mysteriously called away--and never return.

Red Flags: 

Physical, mental, and verbal abuse of students both by teachers and other students; underage sex; romantic relations between a student and teacher; one student is suspected of being a lesbian; parents and teachers are shown in a strongly negative light
