I know it's not what you're asking but no one can tell you for sure whether you'll get in or not but here's the best way to evaluate yourself based on the application overview. I'm applying as a Senior right now and have wanted to go to West Point my whole life. This question has been on here a thousand times and here's what I'm accumulated from reading all the responses. This is pretty lengthy but I bolded the most important points in my opinion so if you don't have time read those and the paragraph at the bottom.
Academics (60%)
SAT is great and if you get the chance try to take the ACT because doing good on both looks really good since they focus on different cognitive abilities (speed vs accuracy)
Class Rank is great but it depends on how competitive your high school is. I'm guessing that's pretty competitive in your case since there aren't any sports offered
GPA is great but again it depends on your school's profile
The different STEM clubs are also great and you should find a way to mention how you lead in them in your essays
Leadership (30%)
President of three clubs is great but I see so many so keep in mind that it's better to be deeply invested in a few clubs than just a member of many.
Leadership is about many than holding positions which is why sports are important. If you still have time try to join a team in your community which you are passionate for and could potentially be a captain on
Also think about starting an intramural league in your school maybe
It's your job to show WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO LEAD in your essays so make sure you do this and set yourself apart as a leader
Also the School Official Evaluations will ask general questions which revolve around leadership potential in the classroom so keep that in mind
CFA (10%)
Do a practice run as soon as you can to see where you are and then train with the averages set as your minimum
Don't sweat this too much as long as you're in good shape
Intangibles
Essays are very important since it's your chance to tell your motivation and is a great opportunity to talk about CONCRETE THINGS YOU'VE DONE WHICH SHOW LEADERSHIP whether it be in school, a club, a sports team, or whatever
Field Force Interview: Dress in suit and tie and think of things that you've had to overcome in the past and what you learned from them because that's what most of the questions are about
Think of one or two people to write a really good to write a Letter of Recommendation for you
The more connections they have to the military the better
West Point is special since it evaluates a whole person rather than just academics. If serving in the military really is your goal then go to a good ROTC school like Virginia Tech and then reapply the next year. The bonds you make and connections you earn are great but at the end of the day graduating ROTC and graduating West Point will get you the same number of bars.
You say that your school district does not offer sports, but what prevented you from doing sports outside of school? Have you taken the CFA yet and if so, is your score good?
