It's unknowable, boo.
And, if it were somehow knowable - it's always changing to whatever someone claims for today - isn't true in a year.
Read to your kids. Be present. Live your best life and things will all work out, promise.

Maybe they will on an anonymous platform like this, for which we’d all be grateful

Asking about admission for K, 3, 6, and 9th.
For instance, what is the chance of acceptance at Sidwell, Bullis, or Landon at K?
And then at each major entry point thereafter?
I fully appreciate Sidwell will be the most selective, and applying for K is easier than applying at every other entry point.
But, can someone please provide a sense of offer rates?
Eg is Sidwell 20% at K, 10% at 3, 15% at 6, and 5% at 9th?
Is Bullis 50% at K, 20% at 3, 30% at 6, 20% at 9th?
Please only chime in if you have actual knowledge from an admissions consultant or an admissions officer at the school you’re commenting on.
