Which one is better?
1) I graduated as the fifth one on the class
2) I came the fifth one on the class
3) I was the best fifth one in the class

Here're some examples:

I graduated as the fifth top student in my class.

I ranked fifth in my graduating class.

I was the graduate with a score that ranked 5th (from the top) in my class.

American English, the most common form is:

"I graduated fifth in my class."
