Not trying to come off rudely. But I assume it's expensive, do you really think it's worth it?

Related follow up, do you think you're missing out by not going to something a little more relaxed during your teen years?

Yeah its like 50k. It certainly is a great education, and the local public schools are so terrible that most people who can afford private choose private, and they all cost around the same.

I definitely feel like I’m missing out; most kids at the school don’t hang out that often, and are always studying. My friends from before were much better. Here it’s always academics first, which I get, but not to such an extreme degree. Also not very many people are athletic so the school kinda sucks at sports so we don’t unite around that. All that being said, academically it is the best in the SF bay area and the teachers are amazing.

Thanks for the reply! Kind of what I expected, but I have a feeling that in the end, assuming you don't go to college for art history or something, it'll be worth it.
