My high school does not rank?

Our HS reports the top 10%, their exact rank and their GPA. All others are in the same non-ranked bucket. The school provides a profile of the top 10% and the median GPA of the class. It is then up to the college adcom to estimate a rank for the applicant based upon the submitted GPA. Comparing the submitted GPA with the top 10% GPAs and the median GPA along with comparisons to other applicants from our high school gives the adcom enough info to assign an estimated rank. I think different colleges break down the estimated ranking differently. Some may do 5% breaks but most will do 10% or 25% breaks.
