I need help choosing pieces for my repertoire.

I am a fifteen year old piano student who has been taking four years and I would like some advice on what pieces I should try tackling next. I can play the Bach inventions and the first prelude and fugue. I can also play some of the simpler Chopin waltzes and preludes and the simpler Beethoven sonatas. Any advice on what I should undertake next would be appreciated.

Schumann, Album for the Young
Bartok, Mikrokosmos (maybe volume 2?)
Kuhlau, Sonatinas
Mendelssohn, Songs Without Words
All are pieces by "real" composers, relatively short and not too hard.

Mozart Sonata --G Major (K283) or B-flat Major (K570)
Debussy-- Arabesque no.1, Ballade, Preludes from book 1 (Sunken Cathedral, Maid with Flaxen Hair), Suite Bergamasque, Golliwog's Cakewalk
Chopin Nocturnes--they are lovely and some are within your range. Polonaise no 1 (?Op 26) may be a challenge, but accessible.
Have fun!

Definitely take a look at a few Mozart Sonatas, like 332 (F major) or 330 (C major).
A few of the first Chopin Nocturnes are beautiful too, like Opus 9, No. 1 and 2.
You might want to take a look at relatively fun to play and interesting 20th century pieces, like Khachaturian toccatta or Debussy's Le Petit Negre.
