marks are highly irrelevant, ranks are vital

Does the rank of the school come into play at all, or is it irrelevant?

It's relevant for estimation but irrelevant for an actual rank.
It provides context, if you're from a top 5 school, you're obviously be more likely to achieve 90+ with those ranks rather than a 100's + school.
But for the actual HSC, your school rank means shit.

Atar calculators aren't the best in reliability because they take into account the previous years marks; this years may vary greatly
