Regarding feeder schools to NE boarding schools, take a look at schools like Greenwich Country Day school (see http://www.greenwichcds.org/admissions/secschools_class2005.asp for sec. school placement), New Canaan Country Day school, etc.

If you are interested in private schools in LA,take a look at this link http://www.jtdschool.com/aboutjtd/stateofschool/state.of.school_web.ppt.htm . That are slides from a “State of the school” presentation at the John Thomas Day school, a private elementary. On slide 16 you will find their secondary school placement 1995 - 2005. (They get about half of their class into Harward-Westlake, so they can’t be bad.) Maybe this gives you a starting point for secondary schools to look at. For primary schools look at slide 10, they compare their tuition to other area elementary schools.

I don’t have direct information about any of those schools and don’t know how competitive it is to get in though, but for some you can look up reviews on www.greatschools.net .
