Meaning of class rank

<p>Hello everyone, I'm seeking some help from those who may be experienced with this kind of stuff or is in a very similar situation/school as I am.</p>

<p>I had a question about class rank. My school, a private and competitive school, claims "school does not rank, but an estimated decile is provided."</p>

<p>Does this mean they will indicate on the school report one's decile? either top 10, 20, 30 etc? IF that's so, isnt providing a decile basically ranking? Or maybe I am misunderstanding this sentence provided by my school..</p>

<p>Any thoughts?</p>

<p>Yes they will provide your decile and it will give your approximate rank. The school will not provide your actual number rank.</p>
