He’d be in the bottom 15. The problem with ranking Reagan is that most of the big issues with him didn’t become fully apparent until long after he was out of office. When you make a list like this it’s kinda hard to fit all the awful US presidents in a top 10.
All the president’s between 1840 and 1860 alone deserve to be somewhere in the bottom 15 for endlessly supporting slavery and setting the stage for the civil war, which makes fitting Reagan in kinda difficult.
Andrew Johnson’s failures persist to this day. He was the 17th president. (Took over after Lincoln was assassinated and refused to seriously punish the confederate leadership)
From bad to worst:
10th: Nixon
9th: Bush
8th: Wilson
7th: Hoover
6th: Tyler
5th: Harding
4th: Pierce
3rd: Trump
2nd: A. Johnson
1st: Buchanan
How is Reagan not on that list? Half of the problems in the United States could be traced back to him.

As a non-american, I’m surprised you have presidents on-par with Thump.

Only because we have a firm understanding of their legacies. If I made this list again in 40 years there’s a good chance he’s in 1st place.
