<p>I’m not sure how I feel about this. I just graduated and was salutatorian (and was not val because my 2 AP latin classes weren’t weighted [teacher wasn’t accredited, or some such nonsense] and I took orchestra for 3 years - you can “only” get a 100 in orchestra.)… I do feel that this sort of ranking system DEFINITELY was incentive for me to try to excel in my classes, and though it tempted me to drop orchestra in favor of another AP class, I feel like my own interests take precedent over a silly title.</p>
