40% HS nationally eliminate class rank?!

Quote:
District officials said most state schools, including the University of Illinois and Northwestern University don’t consider class rank. Nor do Princeton or the University of Michigan. District officials did not provide information about which institutions do factor in class rank, and audience members said they’d like to hear more about the positive aspects of the ranking system.
From which I gather that those District officials don’t have much insight into college admissions issues. C’mon, guys, do your homework beforehand!
