Even if you’re school doesn’t rank, it almost definitely will give a percentile range. Virtually all schools will say “top 1%”,“top 5%”, “top 10%”, et cetera.

Because of this, I’m actually glad my school ranked - the range you’re given can never be better than your actual ranking. If you’re, say, number six of a hundred, you are 6% but get put down as “top 10%”. Even if you’re towards the bottom of the range, e.g. 9%, 9% is still better than “top 10%”.
