Percentile band classifier

Percentile ranks answer how a score stands relative to a comparison group, but raw numbers such as the 18th or 88th percentile still leave teachers, parents, counselors, and product UIs without a shared plain-language band.

Hand-drawn cutoffs drift between spreadsheets, and verbal labels like “a bit low” or “pretty high” are not reproducible across reports. This percentile band classifier accepts a single percentile from zero through one hundred and returns a fixed five-band label—low, below average, average, above average, or high—plus the inclusive range that band covers and a short description suitable for report cards, dashboards, and parent conferences. The same pure analytic module powers the free browser tool and the paid API path, so LMS plugins, assessment exporters, and counseling worksheets never disagree on whether a rank sits in the middle half or the upper tail. No network calls, no model tokens, and no randomness: the cutoffs are documented and deterministic for every valid input.

How to use it

Enter your values in the form above. The tool checks them before calculating and shows the result on the same page.

Check your inputs

Use the labels and units shown next to each field. If something is missing or outside the allowed range, the page points to the field to fix.

Use it again or automate it

Use the browser tool for individual checks and the API when you need the same capability in an automated workflow.

What you can do with it

Get an answer now

Enter one set of values and see the result without building a spreadsheet or script.

Compare scenarios

Change one value at a time and rerun the calculation to understand what affects the result.

Automate repeated work

Use the API when the same calculation needs to run inside your product or workflow.

For developers — API access

Everything on this page is available programmatically. This section is for teams who want to wire it into their own systems; everyone else can just use the tool above.

API endpoint

POSThttps://api.kit.forhosting.com/edu/percentile-band-classifier

Prefer to automate it? One authenticated POST creates the task; the result comes back by webhook or a signed link. The same capability also runs here on the web, by email and from Telegram — and soon from our app too.

Call it from your stack

curl -X POST https://api.kit.forhosting.com/edu/percentile-band-classifier \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $KIT_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"percentile":72}'

const res = await fetch("https://api.kit.forhosting.com/edu/percentile-band-classifier", {
  method: "POST",

    "Content-Type": "application/json"
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "percentile": 72
  })
});
const { task_id } = await res.json();

import os, requests

res = requests.post(
    "https://api.kit.forhosting.com/edu/percentile-band-classifier",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['KIT_KEY']}"},
    json={

    "header"  => "Authorization: Bearer " . getenv("KIT_KEY") . "\r\nContent-Type: application/json",

  ],
]));
$task = json_decode($res, true);

body := bytes.NewBufferString(`{"percentile":72}`)
req, _ := http.NewRequest("POST", "https://api.kit.forhosting.com/edu/percentile-band-classifier", body)

Example request

{
  "percentile": 72
}

Example response

{
  "task_id": "tsk_a1b2c3d4e5f6a1b2c3d4e5f6",
  "type": "edu.percentile_band_classifier",
  "status": "queued",
  "_links": {
    "result": "/tasks/tsk_…/result"
  }
}

The API is asynchronous: the call returns a task_id immediately and the result arrives by webhook. Polling is capped at 1 req/s per task.

Pricing

Published price — no tokens, no invented credits. A failed task is never charged.

Errors

HTTP	Code	Meaning
