How is Class Rank determined at your child's school?

It gets even more confusing when you move, such as we did DD’s senior year. She had two B+'s on her transcript, each a 93 in an honors an AP course not even offered at the new school. A 93 was an A at the new school. The new school left them as B+'s when calculating GPA, so those two grades and the B she earned in a college calculus class, which no one else even took, were enough to keep her out of the top 10%. But she got her acceptances weeks before others who applied at the same colleges, with higher rankings, did and I am sure that is because she had taken much harder courses all four years so it worked out fine for her.
