Class Rank
Anderson is a non-ranking HS
Campus Advisory Committee voted Spring 2014
95% of parent votes in spring 2014 were for becoming a non-
ranking HS
By state law, Anderson HS has to report top 10% ranked students
to TX Public Universities
Top 10% students will have rank sent to these universities
Top 10% students receive a letter with their rank
No other students will have a rank
Top 10% students receive their rank …
Sophomore Year – By November
Junior Year – Within two months after the completion each
semester
Senior Year – By February 15 of senior year
Implications of Being a Non-Ranking HS
Many state universities will use applicant’s GPA and assign each student an assumed rank
This will result in an assigned quartile
Most state universities have assured admit program for each quartile based on SAT/ACT score
Below is an example of Texas State Univ. Assured Admissions Policy
