The top large prep boarding schools might be:

Andover, Exeter, Choate, Lawrenceville, & Deerfield.

The top smaller boarding schools might be: Groton, St. Paul’s School, & Hotchkiss.

Unless Deerfield has gotten bigger in recent years, I don’t think there is much of a size difference between Hotchkiss and Deerfield. Groton seems quite a bit smaller than both especially given it is spread over 5 years instead of 4 –though I realize the 8th grade class is pretty tiny.
