[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]YES! Been waiting for this thread - but was going to hopefully post it on Friday - fingers crossed!

But IF we have a choice, both DS and parents are torn on the pros and cons. DS would thrive at either. But I feel like, according to this website, STA might be less drama......any thoughts on academics, college outcomes, grading, teachers, sports, food, etc would be welcome. This is for HS![/quote]

If your DS is really all in for the STA-experience (all boys and sports requirements etc.)  and you as parents are ok with the community - I'd say STA is a better run school and a more cohesive and supportive experience (for those that fit in). Their college counseling is 100% better run.  My sons weren't up for STA so they didn't apply - but we know many happy STA families. Ours ended up at Sidwell.[/quote]

STA college counseling depends. They have their favorite students and families and work well for them. Others don't get the same attention. [/quote]

You get as much attention as you ask for. Some families meet with their counselor once and expect that will grant them admission to an Ivy; others talk to their counselor every week and meet a dozen times to work on the best plan for their kid.  [/quote]
