My county has computer issues and can not properly calculate class rank. The plan is to use class rank as of the end of Sophomore year and ignore Junior year grades. I am working with the district but asking others how important is class rank? What if it’s wrong?
What is OCPS?
Our school stopped ranking by specific number except for the top 10 students. Everyone else is ranked using deciles.
Many schools around us don’t rank at all. Not at all.
I honestly think your kid’s GPA is more important than class rank.
Sorry for the abbreviation. It’s Orange County Public Schools.
Class rank’s importance varies by school. Look at the Common Data Set, section C7 to find out. Here is U Florida’s as an example:

Class Rank is only considered while GPA (among other attributes) is very important.
It would be a big deal for UCF as they have the Top 10 Knights program.
