[quote=Anonymous]All schools are finically diverse. This is Washington and everyone has their non-profit meeting criteria down cold.

There are many reasons to send a child to STA. Its a great school, a disciplined and challenging environment and any kid will get a great education there. Some parents are Alumni. Others have no public option and are extremely grateful for the opportunity. But you seem to have a good fit elsewhere already and your kid is thriving to boot.

I don't know any parent who takes a kid who is doing great  academically and socially out of a great school and tries to make them repeat their success when :

1) the parents can't afford the tuition
2) the kid does not want to go to the school

Analogy: I have a great marriage: I love my spouse and we have three happy, healthy kids and a great work/life balance, but lets file for divorce and start dating again and see if we can each find just a good a partner and have our kids adjust. You know, just for the hell of it.[/quote]
