<p>Not ranking is not good or bad. Colleges that use ranking calculate it anyway based on kid’s GPA and class profile. I had asked this question during one of info college sessions with college admissions. More so, in some cases kid cannot even make top 1-2% because class is too small. For example, D’s HS class had 33 kids. No ranking. But in addition, the top student can make only top 3%, not top 1-2%, simply because 1 person out of 33 represents 3%. Colleges take all of it into consideration. No worries about staff that you cannot control. Kids who done their job and got it good in GPA and tests will be recognized by college admissions one way or another.</p>
