Class Rank

Class rank is a way to measure a student's academic performance compared to their peers in the same grade or school. It reflects how well a student is doing relative to classmates, often based on GPA or overall grades. For example, being ranked in the top 10% means the student scores higher than 90% of their peers. Schools use class rank to highlight academic achievements and compare students within their cohort. It can impact college admissions and scholarship opportunities, but doesn't capture all aspects of a student's abilities or strengths.
