I've just finished The Shards by Bret Easton Ellis and loved the concept of preppy school kids being confronted with darkness and am looking for something with a similar vibe. I've read most of his other stuff already as I really enjoy his writing style.
I've enjoyed The Secret History and If We Were Villains but I'm not necessarily looking for dark academia. Not really a fan of fantasy to be honest.

The Basic Eight by Daniel Handler. Can’t remember if the school is preppy or not but definitely about high achieving students with a dark vibe.
