best prep schools

<p>ok so i graduated from a public high school and i have no clue about prep schools. can someone tell me which prep schools are considered to be the really good ones, what state theyre in, how much they cost, and generally how good are their admit rates to top colleges. i know this is broad, so just post what you want to share. thanks!</p>

<p>go to prepreview.com...they have a ranking but i'm not sure too many people agree with it, since it's based only on collegre matriculations at the 8th ivies plus stanford and MIT. another site is boardingschoolreview which has top 20 lists in any given area.</p>
