Is it worth it???

I do think that a independent day school may help in college admissions. With fewer students (average class size of 16 for example at La Jolla) the college counselors will know the students more, and have a stronger understanding of schools that may be a good match for that particular student. The school counselors may have more time to develop relationships with colleges admission officers, and more colleges admission officers may choose to visit the independent school.

is a prep school worth it? If your only goal is elite college admission, I don’t think it is.

If your goals are broader (La Jolla states their goal is to develop innovators, thinkers, explorers and humanitarians) and your family can make it work financially, then it might be!
