Just lost my top 10% ranking- Is this fair?

So sophomore year there are three teachers for AP world History.
One Is known to be extremely difficult ( That’s who I got ) - the class average is an 79. 2 people have an A.
One Is known to be pretty easy - a 93 class average,
One is known to be EXTREMELY easy - a 96 class average. The kids who tried at least a little for 99-100s. Seriously, there are 31 kids with a 98-100 in his class.

I was in the top 8% of my class, but after getting a freaking B with the hard teacher with everyone else acing WHAP I’m now at 15% and the gaps are huge now.

I worked my absolute butt off studying for my teachers seven minute essay quizzes every other day ( everyone always bombed them ) while simultaneously studying for ridiculously difficult and uncurved tests. I haven’t slept before 12 ever since WHAP.

While I watch everyone else with their open note quizzes, super easy MAJOR GRADE projects of filimjng a video ( did I mention we didn’t have ANY projects ?), their DOUBLE curved tests, group final exams, and NO homework you see me working my freaking butt off for a measly 85.

Seriously, even the underachievers have A’s in his class and there are people I KNOW I am a better student than, but they have a freaking 100 in the class. Seriously, there are 31 people in all three of that fat mans classes with 100s because of WHAP. All because they got the easy teacher. Seriously, wasn’t this supposed to be an AP class?

This is the only AP available for sophomores so this class was crucial for rank. My rank is basically abysmal now, along with all the other people who had the same teacher as me. My freshmen valedictorian who was in my class dropped 9 spots lol. Of course there’s all of those people who think they are smarter than the valedictorian just because they have a 100 in the easiest WHAP teacher ever - seriously they act like they’re like geniuses.

Is there any way I can protest this? Or do I just face the music and just give up? There really isn’t a point in applying to top schools without being in the top 10%, and it seems highly unlikely that I’ll be able to make up for such a huge gap.
