Is this high school hurting its students?

That makes no sense… you should talk to a counselor or a school board member to get that changed.

With any reasonable amount of logic it should be:

5 students in 99th percentile
5 students in 98th percentile
5 students in 97th percentile
5 students in 96th percentile
5 students in 95th percentile
5 students in 94th percentile
5 students in 93rd percentile
5 students in 92nd percentile
5 students in 91st percentile
5 students in 90th percentile

So there are 50 students in the top 10% so if I understand what you are saying 25 of those 50 students are being incorrectly grouped into the “lower than the top 10% group”
