I have a 14yr old daughter who i let her have her own freedom to a certain limit.
You see her friends who are a year younger than her drink on the streets and god knows what else as i see it their parents let them do what they want and don't care, they hang around outside definitely up to no good and have boyfriends who they are definitely sleeping with.
Where my daughter does well in school, she is allowed to have a drink in the house such WKD and only that, she always in at 9pm and 10.30pm in the summer when it goes dark late, she doesn't hang around the streets always in her best friends house or youth club or cinema.
So i give my daughter a little freedom and she never does nothing she shouldn't do so give your daughter her own freedom but set a limit.

encourage her to do things like join school groups, go to games, ect...
If she is busy doing activities then you won't need to worry so much about her getting in with the wrong crowd.
Like was already said-meet the parents of her friends. Also if she meets someone and you don't really like them don't try to discourage her from being around that person, just encourage friends you do like by telling her that she could invite so and so over during the weekend.
If she wants to do something that you are uncomfortable letting her do try to find some kind of comprimise that you can both live with, such as: she wants to go to the movies without you-- make sure that it is with a group and that you walk with her to the ticket booth to buy the ticket for her then watch her as she walks in without going in with her-then get there a little before the movie lets out and wait inside for her, get a drink or somthing so that it looks like you just got there a little early.
I know it is really hard but you have to let them find their independence or they will be lost when its time to go to college (in just a few short years).
She sounds like a good kid. Give her the trust she deserves and keep the lines of communication open.

Give her as much freedom as she earns and is applicable to her age group. No matter how good he is, at age 15, you need to set curfew times. Kids like limits, even if they won't admit it. Check her stories for lies, but don't go overboard. If she tells you she's going to "Jane's" house for four hours, then call "Jane's" mom just to introduce yourself.
Otherwise, trust her unless she gives you a reason not to. She sounds very solid.

Give her freedom to really enjoy her high school hears. Just be sure you know the students she are with, get to know their parents, its a good indicator how the students are raised.
