<p>There may be local public or private high schools where “it’s cool to be smart and everyone is there to learn” but would not require the expense of boarding. Remember that the more your parents spend on your high school (including boarding expenses), the less they have left to spend on your college (“sorry, but we spent your college fund on your boarding high school, so you’ll have to live at home and go to community college and then transfer to the local state university”).</p>
