What does this sentence mean? "not any more than" phrase?

Question

I'm confused about this sentence from *The Catcher in the Rye*:> They don't do any damn more molding at Pencey than they do at any other school.I can think of two interpretations:1. Other schools do molding students and Pencey doesn't do more than them.2. Other schools have never done molding students and Pencey has never done either.Which is correct?

Answer 1

The phrase basically means that the schools are equitable. The Pencey school is not any more special or does not prepare them any more than other schools do.
