Here is the apply/admit/enroll profile from a competitive suburban high school over the last 5 years.
The data shows a wide variable accept rate.
This would suggest that application are judged on the merits and are not limited by applications and enrollments from specific high shools.
In fact many Universities now track success at their colleges from admits by specific school, meaning that if enrolled students from a specific high school are successful at their college , they are more likely to accept more students from that high school.
So don’t worry about the competition from your school , worry about your competition from the entire applicant pool.

The yield rate also showed a wide variable of 11% to 54%.
