Not out-of-the-box - but it is something you could add easily using a custom model extension:

The documentation will not tell you how to implement a rating document. It shows how to extend the "content model" You will have need to extend the model in ways which are useful to you.

In your case you might want to create an aspect called rateable or rankable.
The aspect could be as simple as a simple value to hold the "rank"

You would the follow the documentation on how to expose the value/aspect in the webclient.
