well my school absolutely refuses to do class rank, they wont give any mention of a rank. they also tell us specifically to write that the schools doesn't offer any sort of honors or awards to its students

I don't mean class rank, although that would be nice to have (you can probably figure this out yourself by asking someone in the front office nicely). I meant national ranking. Is your school ranked nationally by some outside agency (e.g. Newsweek)? Is your school on this list?

Edit: that list is public schools, so it won't apply to you, but you can find a similar list for private schools.
