Is 83rd of 374 good?

No.

You’re in the top 25%. How good is your school? If this is high school, what is the usual per cent that goes on to a four year college? Hard to say from just a number if it is good or just fair.

You know what they call the person who graduates last in the class from medical school?

Doctor.

That put’s you in the 78th percentile… meaning you ranked better than 78% of your class. It’s not bad. Call it B-, or maybe C+.

Half of 374 is 187, so you’re well above the halfway mark. 82 people did better than you. 291 did worse.

Respectable.

It’s a lot above average, but not really eye-catching or anything. Class rank is a silly measurement anyway, what if you went to a school full of geniuses, or one full of imbeciles?

I always heard that if you were in the top 25% of your class that you were doing pretty well. For instance if you were in a class of 250 students.
