seems like rankings are how they can determine the competitiveness of you school and if your school doesn’t give rankings they can’t do that
Not all hs tell their rank. Adcoms know their areas in detail, usually which hs are strong or challenged, local demographics, etc. They can tell some things by the other info on the school report. And they have access to other resources.
Make sure you’re vetting for the right info, what really matters.
