it might ultimately depend on what your goals are. Good schools provide you with opportunities that you might not get in a school that isn’t as good. this might be anything from access to internships, professors, and other resources that you wouldnt get in a school that isnt as good. they might also provide you with networking opportunities you might otherwise lack that might be essential (e.g. in the film industry)

also a good schools professors might subject their students to higher standards which is suffering for the students undergoing it but ultimately benefiial (e.g. i had a professor last quarter subject us to the same requirements as he does to graduate students – no sentences longer than 16 words.)
