re: How accurate are recruiting rankings?

Would a 5* RB at a 1A high school be better that a 4* at a 5A school? Doubtful.
Better than a 3* at a top classification school. Maybe not. competition builds quality.

I see that others have answered your post, and I would say that they are correct. The rankings are not based upon the school they go to or the competition they play against. The rankings are based upon the players abilities. It gets a bit tougher to gauge those abilities considering the competition they play against, but that is where measurables (Speed, agility, vision, etc for a RB) come into play as well as camps.

So yes, in theory if the scouting of the player is done well, then the star ranking should tell you which RB is best.
