Recognition of Top LAC's?

It seems as though the reputation of Pomona and the Claremont Colleges are rising among the general public as they become more selective. In general, my High School doesn’t send many off to LAC’s; graduates seem to prefer the Ivy League + MIT, Duke, etc., but this year more are choosing LAC’s like Scripps and Swarthmore. I find that the adults I know have knowledge of Pomona and it’s peers and recognize the academic quality at top LAC’s. Is this just my perception, or is the general recognition of LAC’s growing (possibly to surpass schools like Penn, Columbia, etc.)?
