I think it all depends on the weight your school puts on it. We have class rank, and you can ask about what yours is, but none of us worry about it. I am friends with all the top 10, im in the top 10. We take AP and college courses because we honestly like them. Thats because our school never highly publicizes the ranks. We have what I guess is the Latin system too, with the cum laudes and all. The school doesn’t put it on thr transcript, they dont publicly mention it other than graduation. Its really not a big deal, just an extra bonus and something to make you competitve for college. I didnt even know what a class rank was until sophmore second semester TBH
