NCS has a great number of Ivy admits this year, including one Dartmouth. 2 Yale. 2 Princeton. Harvard, Columbia, Cornell, Penn. and one MIT. Not all are posted. That’s 10/71. Amazing numbers. And a very small minority of them are legacy.
If you’re counting Ivy admits, you have listed 9/71. MIT isn’t an Ivy.
How many of them are connected, first gen/urm? If you aren't at the absolute top of the class, it will be hard to get in from NCS. 2 might have gotten into Yale, but if 15 applied then i doesn't indicate your chances are better from NCS.
There are 10 Ivy admits. I believe 3 are legacies. The other 7 are basically the top 7 girls in the class and also took the most challenging math and science classes (most took physics C, I believe all took math beyond calculus--several 2 or 3 years beyond) plus a ton of extracurriculars. They are impressive kids.
Yeah, that's my point. These classes at NCS are hard. The median NCS girl would've been a top 5% student at JRHS or SJCHS. Their college options may have been better if they attended a regular high school.

Feeder schools do not exist anymore. Dartmouth does not give you a bump for going to a "top prep school." If you want to get into Dartmouth, you need to have a stellar application like the rest of the admits.

Yes I know, I tacked that on there at the end as people typically include MIT and Stanford in HYPSM, placing them even higher than the other Ivies, but 9 is great too!

No. My non athlete daughter from a Md private got in to Dartmouth with 36 ACT and 94/95 average.
