The Top 10% rule is a rule that every school has, and they rank the students from highest GPA to lowest GPA and thus get the Top 10% of the school. Like in my school, the Top 10% was 29 students.
IDK if this is what you mean, but AP classes greatly affect your GPA. For every Pre-AP class you take, you add 8 points to your final grade. And for every AP class you take, you add 10 points. For example, I didn't take Pre-AP Geometry or AP Chemistry, while the rest of my friends did. So it didn't matter that I maintained a grade of '100' for the entire year. My friend L, ended up with a 96 in AP Chemistry, but it became a 106 b/c of the AP points.
