What class rank does that translate into?

Four years varsity lacrosse? If you are good enough to play on the team, you should probably get in.

my school doesnt have a class rank because there are only 27 in the class and the top 10% would be 2.7 people haha.
and in regards to lacrosse, i do not want to play in college and i'm also not the best at it. i'm not bad, but not great.
