It's really hard to say, because her school is 400 and she's coming first in most of her subjects.

Low ranked schools tend to fluctuate in rank alot.

But I would think low-mid 90s?

It's actually hard to estimate rank 1s because more often than not, the school's cohort is a bad reflection upon them as they could well be outliers.

Hard to say, I reakon 90+ - could be anywhere within that range depending on this persons external performance.

By the way, I'm curious to know after what number there start to be fluctuations i.e. what's cut off for a low ranking school?

There is no cutoff, this person could get 99.95 for all we know.

I think the question was more along the lines of what defines a low ranking school- roughly what school rank means that it becomes harder to predict ATAR's accurately. I don't know the answer though sorry.

Ohh ok. I reakon less then 400 is the point where it gets difficult. Anything lower then 500 and it becomes a real crap shoot.
