Is it worth it???

It depends, really. Prep Schools do tend to be more rigorous and maintain much higher expectations for their students. With their admissions process, it can be simply put that Prep School students do tend to be more academically achieving. My oldest son is a senior at a private military boarding school and it was the best possible choice for him. He has had dreams of attending USNA since he was young, and I personally believe that because of the education he got, this dream is well on its way to becoming his reality. My oldest daughter did fine at her public high school. It depends on your student, where you go, and what you want. Prep School students do have a greater chance of attending top colleges, but that’s in part because of their academic caliber and their school’s reputation.

So, it’s worth it for some.
