There are some LACs that are considered targets or semi-targets such as Williams, Amherst, Middlebury, etc. However, from looking at Linkedin, these schools seem to have only a handful of alumni working at PE firms, typically like 1 to 3 individuals. What are the reasons of this? I don't think this is purely because of the small student body.

I just did a LinkedIn search and see pages and pages and pages of individuals from each of these schools at PE firms. Many at top-tier UMM/MFs.
Do you mean at each firm - i.e. at BX/KKR there may only be 1-3 alums? That is normal. These LACs have great placement, but between a small student body and a lower student body interest in finance (vs. somewhere like Wharton), you can't expect it to have the same number of bodies as H/S/W etc. The top MF classes are also very small (think 15 a year) so it would make sense that each school only has 1-2 alums given those numbers. The vast majority of people in IB goes into MM or below PE funds.
TLDR - if you are at one of these 3 LACs, your school name will not be an obstacle in PE recruiting...
