Non-boarding privates get around this, just staying with an unofficial host family on weeknights. 

It’s my understanding that the student athletes must live with a family member or legal guardian.  Are you saying that parents are signing over their legal parenting rights to a stranger?

No, just staying weeknights regardless of rules.

Bumping a team up is easy but deciding who can go back down isn’t. If state championships are the measure for bumping up then what level of lack of success lowers a school? Do they bump up or down in all sports?

IMO this is why it’s a very bad model. It’s too difficult for teams to be lowered in classifications. 

It's a bad model because it penalizes you for achieving your goals. If a championship is your target every season, why should you have to face more difficult (supposedly) competition to maintain the success that you worked so hard to achieve? Should you make it more difficult for the Freshmen and Sophomores to win because the Juniors and Seniors did?
