[quote=Anonymous]Having almost made the move to the LA area and gone through the admissions process I can share my two cents.  The area is extremely spread out and the traffic is far worse than DC.  Driving on the freeways was like being in hell-I never thought 495 was so beautiful.  Be aware that many of the admissions deadlines can be in December, much earlier than privates around the DC area.  
Brentwood-toured both the upper and lower schools.  Very difficult to get in, will only look at applications for K and 6th as previous poster stated.  Sixth grade is VERY tough because LA area elementary ends at 5th and everyone is trying to get their child into a new school.  Many have been in public, but wouldn't want to send their child to public for middle.  
Marlborough-had a positive experience, great admissions office.  Girls are bused in from all over.  Loyola Marymount-9-12, girls, Catholic, beautiful grounds, right next to UCLA and a golf course, facilities are dreadfully old and outdated.  There's more to a school than facilities, but these classrooms were dark and dreary.
A lot of schools in Palisades that go to 6th or 8th.  Very nice area if you are looking to live there.
