How are you getting 30% to Ivies, that would mean about 30 kids per year. That’s highly doubtful. Groton is amazing. But I think sometimes people lump in a whole handful of schools into the Ivy league equivalent group and that expands the pool ( and invalidates the %).

Groton will send its top-tier to top schools. So will most BS’s. No one in particular has a lock on Ivy acceptances. It’s NOT a pipeline and hasn’t been for many decades. And things are changing FAST. More holistic admissions and more kids applying from everywhere. More competition and no schools have a pipeline to any other school. Remember many of the kids going off to Ivies have hooks, are URM, first Gen, Athletes and all the rest. So your kids graduation from any school doesn’t mean he/she is going too. Your kid has to excel to get into top colleges.
