<p>OnTrack,</p>
<p>I respectfully disagree. Yes, excelling in weighted classes is better than excelling in regular classes. However, many high schools have stopped reporting class rank arguing that the rankings emphasize minuscule differences in grade point averages. There is also the fear that students at high-performing schools may be at a disadvantage for college admissions when compared to students at less- competitive schools, where it may be easier to have a higher class rank. The kid is ranked in the top 40% at one school may well be valedictorian at another.</p>
