My high school does not rank?

HS doesn’t rank ~ this could provide an opportunity. Since you do not know for sure, you will not be at fault to state your best (best foot forward) guess. We strongly suspected - from all evidence we could uncover, that a 3.8 was in the top 10% for an unwweighted gpa at daughter’s HS. We had her state this on her application ~ phrased it honestly, that it was her best guess. In our case college didn’t bother to disagree ~and awarded a scholarship typically given to top 10% (we didn’t know this was a possible at the time) Colleges can choose to ignore it since it’s not official. It’s not your fault your high school doesn’t reveal rank - maybe you can use this to your advantage (if it’s a good approximation)
