The above two are named the same for ALL your rows so it will take the value
of the last row, hence your problem. In general, each of your form elements
must have a unique name.

Name your rows something along the lines of:
<input type="text" name="rows[15][category]" value="Prep School">
<input type="text" name="rows[15][rank]" value=30 size=4>
<input type="checkbox" name="rows[15][rankid]" value="166">
<input type="text" name="rows[16][category]" value="Prep School">
<input type="text" name="rows[16][rank]" value=30 size=4>
<input type="checkbox" name="rows[16][rankid]" value="166">
Then to process:
foreach ($rows as $row) {
echo "$row['category'], $row['rank'], $row['rankid']";
}
