Spanish term or phrase: situación del alumno con respecto al promedio de la sección
Estoy traduciendo una boleta de bachillerato y hay una tabla en la que se comparan las calificaciones del alumno con las del promedio de la sección y luego hay varias columnas que indican si la actuación tiene un: nivel muy bajo, nivel bajo, nivel medio bajo, nivel medio alto, nivel alto, nivel muy alto.

En este caso, ¿cómo se diría "situación del alumno"? El resto lo traduciría como "as compared to the class average" (en este caso, no se trata de "grade point average" sino de un promedio simple).

neutral  Michelle Wolfson: Academic standing makes me think of being a student in good standing or not in good standing. This seems to have more to do with their position compared to other students.

  -> I don't think academic standing is typically seen as a binary concept and that it is used in this sense. Do I have the patience to hunt up Web references to support this assertion? No!

agree  Michelle Wolfson: Class rank would be their position compared to other students' averages. If it indicates the number in a percent, then use Percentile Ranking.
