Our HS doesn’t rank either, but they do have a chart showing the general distribution of gpa’s and how many kids fall into each bucket - typically about 15% will fall into the top group with gpa’s of 4.5+ and another 15% into the 4-4.4 bucket and so on down the line. Most schools provide that type of breakdown so colleges can generally understand where students fall and also to put gpa’s into context (i.e. are there tons of kids getting a 4.0+). You should talk to your guidance counselor about this to find if you can at least get a general sense of how competitive your stats are for the schools that interest you. You can also look at Naviance or SCOIR to see how kids with your stats have done in the past (knowing that those don’t take into account ECs, hooks etc)
