Admittedly, I was upset about my school rank dropping heaps compared to where it was in the past.

But the system is a bit weird. I think school ranks are based off success rates, which are just band 6 count / number of exams sat

yeah thats why private schools have inflated rankings lel, from what ive heard they encourage (very heavily) students to only do subjects that they will defs get band 6 in even if that b6 wont scale that well, which is why you have so many kids doing general maths and languages. consequently they get a high percentage of b6s whilst might not being actually that good
that being said, there are heaps of tremendously talented kids in private schooling so goes both ways

I've gone to accept that school ranks are a bit biased due to how it works tbh.

Quite recently actually. Just after having a chat about it at the academic assembly of our school last month.

Why don't the unofficial school ranks get based on ATAR instead (e.g. median ATAR)? With the Band 6 system, school A could have 100% band 6's in the form of a 90 mark from every paper, whilst school B could have less than 100% Band 6 rate but with a much higher ATAR median, yet School A would be ranked higher than school B.

Why should I care? I don't have any reason to care about ANYTHING he says, after the way he's been treating some people I know.

Don't you dare get involved in this. Call me a child for what I say, but I will not in ANY WAY, take ANYTHING HE SAYS, as ANY FORM OF A LIGHT HEARTED JOKE WHEN HE IS USUALLY FOR REAL.

I'm sorry if I am elitist. But I will never allow his opinions on me to take advantage of me. And for the record, he is NEVER joking anymore in my eyes, for such topics. He will downright spit something out in an attempt to aggravate people such as me. And yes, I will admit, I walk right into it.

I copied off so many of Paradoxica's answers...

The time frame was way too little for me to do all of them (though I actually could process a method to say the least D: )

Should've come 9th, not 3rd

Gotta send that question to the people who determine the ranks
