Does attending Prep School help with college admissions?

In my limited experience I find this to be true. While our DD had a top level public high school she attended - our state is usually in the top one or two in the nation and our hometown in the top 10% in state, I find some of this is due to the parents and their involvement in the child’s education rather than just the teachers. When DS moved to a prep school she had teachers with PHDs from Columbia, Penn and many other top schools who moved back to teach in a prep school after their younger years in the “real world”. One told me they liked living on the campus of a prep with his young family. So perhaps caliber of teachers and what they are teaching certainly comes into play,
