Just wondering what the average SSAT score/percentile looks like at the top 10-15 schools.
Usually it will be mid 80s to mid 90s for percentile ranks. Score is around 2175 for an 84, at least it was for me.

You can find school specific ssat information on the boarding school review website. There has been an upward trend in the top tiered schools in the past two years, which is likely due to increased applications and being test optional last year.
If you want to be confident in the SSAT score helping your app/stand out, shoot for the mid-90s.
Ssat scores are not what helps an app stand out. Even before covid some of the most prestigious schools on this board were reading apps the first time without ssat scores.
They reject kids every year with perfect and near perfect ssat scores. It happens so often that I know several 99%, zero acceptance kids myself.
