Prep school = preparatory school. They prepare and groom students that are bound for college. Prep schools usually offer advanced classes that many public schools don't offer. A lot of these classes will give the student a head start an advantage when he/she starts college. It's not just a private school. It prepares the student for college life, requirements are often more stringent, such as keeping up a certain grade point average.

As others have said, a prep school prepares its students for college. You can go to www.petersons.com and look for independent schools in the Cleveland area. If you are interested in a boarding school, go to www.boardingschoolreview.com . For general information, go to www.collegeconfidential.com and look for the Prep School Admissions board. Good luck!

Prep school is a college preparatory school.
Not much use to it, you can got to public school and still go to college.
