Curious about boarding schools

Hi! I’m starting to look into other boarding schools because I still believe it’s where I need to be to excel. I have all A’s and I’m on the honor roll but at a below-average public school. I don’t feel like my current school is helping me to draw out my passions/interests neither is it challenging me. I am currently a freshman and thinking about applying to schools in my sophomore year, maybe even as a repeat. I am considering different boarding schools

I have various questions:

Are my chances lower because I go to a lower rank highschool?

Are the bs listed above too many?

Do boarding schools look at past rejections and judge based on that?

What is the best way to lay my potential out on the table when applying?

How many times should I take the SSAT?

Your help would be greatly appreciated! It would also be nice to hear from those that were accepted this year and to get tips.
