I go to a small private school with 20 kids in my class. I will be graduating number 1 in my class.

On my transcript it says 1/20, but that also puts me in the top 4%. How will colleges see this?

I personally don’t think getting valedictorian of 20 kids is that impressive (my parents think differently), but I just need some feedback.

Is my rank seen equivalent as a person ranked 40/1000? Or the same as 1/1000? Or somewhere in between?
