It really depends on the student.

My younger son was at junior boarding school and had a faculty member that he was close with personally and who oversaw the club of which my son was the head, write his personal rec. My older son had the coach of his outside sport (who had coached him for 5+ years) write it.

They want to see as many sides of an applicant as possible. Who a student is in the classroom may not be the same as who he is as an athlete, actor, musician, artist, volunteer, student council member, etc. It’s about who will say something about the applicant that the other recs don’t say.
