Class Rank Calculator

Calculate class rank percentile

Percentile
Top Percent
Top 10%? (1=Yes)
Top 25%? (1=Yes)

The class rank calculator converts your numerical rank into percentile and top-percent metrics, which are often more meaningful for college applications and scholarships than raw rank numbers.

Enter your rank (1 is highest) and your total class size. The calculator shows your percentile, top-percent ranking, and whether you're in the top 10% or 25%, which are common scholarship thresholds.

This helps students understand their competitive position for college admissions, merit scholarships, and honor societies that often have percentile requirements rather than GPA requirements.
