I had to look up Annie Wright in Washington State! It’s about $55,000 for boarding school.

I believe your parents may be trying to manage expenses. If possible see if your family can come to understand that the sticker price is not what you pay for boarding school. While you need financial aid, a higher price boarding school may be overall less expensive due to more generous financial aid.

Good luck with schools. You’re a good candidate and can apply more broadly.
