<p>Very interesting. Thanks for this and your other data posts.</p>
<p>I don’t know how many schools do this but our public High School does not release class rank. It does however provide a histogram of the GPA distribution from the year before which can be used by colleges, if they so choose, to make a pretty close guess which is something I assume most do.</p>
<p>There is a public report available in town that does show final GPA’s and the cutoffs for something like top 10% do not vary much from year-to-year so an accurate guess is possible but perhaps some colleges prefer not to do that.</p>
<p>Do your high schools report rank?</p>
