Class of 2030 Acceptance Rates by High School: What Feeder Schools Actually Publish

Do high schools publish Class of 2030 acceptance rates?

No. The college Class of 2030 entered in fall 2026, so it is mostly the high school Class of 2026. High schools report matriculation, meaning where graduates enrolled, and most report it as a combined total over three to five years. A student admitted to several colleges appears once, at the college the student chose, and none of the schools we reviewed publishes how many of its students applied to each college. Without applicant counts, no acceptance rate by high school can be calculated from what these schools publish.

Two schools in our set publish admitted counts as well. The Chapin School lists both for 2022 to 2026: 41 admits and 20 enrollees at Cornell, 19 and 13 at Penn, 15 and 12 at Yale, and 11 and 11 at Harvard (Chapin College Matriculation and Admitted List). The Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy lists attending and accepted counts for its Class of 2025, including 3 of 3 at Harvard and 3 of 5 at Yale (IMSA college matriculation). In our experience, families usually see a school’s own admission history by college inside the school’s college planning platform, such as Naviance or Scoir.

What were the Ivy League acceptance rates for the Class of 2030?

Six of the eight Ivies have published Class of 2030 applicant and admit counts. Penn has published its applicant count; its admit count comes from the dean’s report to the trustees as reported in the press, so its rate is an estimate. Our guide to the easiest Ivy League school to get into compares them with the Class of 2029.

Which high schools have published Class of 2026 college lists?

Only a few schools in our set publish a single-year list for the Class of 2026, the class that enrolled in college in fall 2026. “Listed” means the college is named without a count.

What do boarding schools report over several years?

Most boarding schools publish combined totals, and each uses its own span of years and its own cutoff for listing a college, so the rows below are not directly comparable.

Our guide to the best feeder schools for the Ivy League adds Taft, Hill, Deerfield and Pingry, whose lists give bands or names only, and our Ten Schools comparison covers cost, aid and deadlines.

What do New York City and other day schools report?

Trinity and Riverdale post their lists as images rather than text, so they are not in the table. Our guide to New York City private school college admissions covers these schools in more detail.

What about public magnet schools?

Public magnets publish less. Stuyvesant’s 2026-27 profile has no matriculation list, and the most detailed counts come from its student newspaper (our Stuyvesant guide). We found no matriculation list on the Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology site (our TJHSST guide) or on the Hunter College High School site. IMSA’s most recent list covers its Class of 2025 rather than 2026.

How should families read feeder school numbers?

The view of Oriel Admissions is that a feeder school list is best read with its years, the size of the school and its listing cutoff in view. Size matters: Andover’s 2026-27 profile lists 1,167 students, while Groton’s Fast Facts page lists 380, so similar counts mean different shares. In our view, selection matters too, since these schools admit selectively before any college does. Milton’s admission page cites a 13% acceptance rate and Pingry’s At-A-Glance page 15%, neither with a year, and the latest school-site figures we found for Andover and Exeter are 14% in 2015 (Andover news) and 11.0% in 2021 (Exeter at a Glance).

In our view, the most useful comparison is a school against itself over several years, not one school against another, and a student at any high school is best served by reading the student’s own school profile, since that is the document colleges receive with the application.
