Please elaborate re Kenyon

Need to keep in mind that many parochial schools are indeed "prep schools". How about all of those east coast Episcopal schools? Kenyon is playing games with how they present the numbers.

Kenyon class of '18 - 48%
Colgate class of '19 - 54%
Colby class of '18 - 48%

I am surprised at these numbers. Expected much higher. Is this par for the course for slac's?

Read the 'are nescac's for white private school kids?" thread.

There definitely is a perception, that is anchored by a kernel of truth, regarding slacs being the home of a lot private school kids, %-wise, compared to other types of schools (ivies, etc).

Which one of these has the most prep school kids?
