Prep means preparatory. In other words, it's a private school designed to prepare students for college. Whereas, high schools may offer some college prep class, it's not their primary function. I hope that helps.

High School is public or private education for the masses. Everyone goes to high school, some then go to college. Prep School is a private preparatory school for students that want a better quality education to prepare themselves for college. If you wanted to be a trashman, you wouldn't go to prep school. You could say that prep schools are the elite of the high schools.
