Percentile Ranks
A percentile rank is a statistical measure that indicates the relative standing of a value within a dataset. It shows the percentage of scores in a distribution that fall below a particular score. For example, if a student scores in the 75th percentile on a test, it means they performed better than 75% of the other test-takers.
Percentile ranks are commonly used in educational assessments, such as standardized tests, to compare individual performance against a larger group. They help identify how well a student is doing relative to their peers, providing insights into areas of strength and opportunities for improvement.
