Her choice for book bag (the VF backpack), sleeping attire (hippo-cow suit), and scarf & dress weekend attire all suggests that she's a middle school student at most. If it wasn't for the fact that Ranka wears a high school uniform and that we're told her 16th birthday is soon, we'd never know that she was approaching adulthood.

Cerrian, congrats on a very detailed and analytical post that addresses some of the key problems with Ranka's character design and development. She really should be tagged as a 12-14 years old instead of 16.
