Class Rank Calculator
The Class Rank Calculator allows students and schools to determine a student’s academic rank based on GPA scores or total results. It ranks students from highest to lowest performance, helping identify top performers for honors, scholarships, and college admissions.
How It Works

Sorted GPAs: 4.0, 3.8, 3.8, 3.6, 3.4
Student A → Rank 1

Student D → Rank 4
Student E → Rank 5
