[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there are few expensive schools that are worth the tuition compared to public, but STA is one that falls in the worth it category.[/quote]
I disagree that this is always the case. For a kid who would get lost in the shuffle perhaps but not necessarily a hard working student who is a rule follower and will do well anywhere. In fact, in a larger well regarded public school in this area, he might find more friend options and will definitely have more advanced class options his senior year, this is simply a factor of size. It really depends on the kid. OP, if you are still uncertain I’d say don’t do it. 200k plus the additional increase each year and then expected donations is money that could be spent on college or grad school or a vacation home... if you aren’t sold by now there is a reason you feel this way. I know a few families there in different grades. Some are happy and some feel so so. The happy ones have kids who who would not thrive at public or went to schools like STA themselves, the so so feeling ones are those whose sons would likely do well anywhere and are very strong students from what they say. Take from that what you will...[/quote]
