@Kristi941

PageRank is a numerical representation of a page's link popularity. It is a published formula so there is no arguing about how it is derived. This makes it easy to figure out possible causes for this (without exactly knowing why for a particular page).

There are several reasons why a page's ranking would drop and they aren't necessarily bad. This could be due to:


more pages being included in Google's index
links to your homepage were removed
pages with links to your homepage were removed from Google's index
the PageRank of the pages that link to your homepage has decreased
the pages that link to your homepage have more links on them


There's even more but you should get where I'm going with this. Since PageRank has little effect on a page's rankings nowadays, and knowing your PageRank history will offer you no useful knowledge, I wouldn't be concerned about this at all.
