<p>Does anyone go to a school where there are numerous valedictorians? My school can get around 15 to 20 a year out of a class of 750-800, since they only weigh three honors classes and there are no minuses or pluses, just regular A's, B's, C's, etc. Just kind of weird because I know of one guy that graduated last year who got a B in intro art class during summer school before freshman year that basically dropped his class rank from 1 into the 20s.</p>
<p>Anybody with a 4.0+ at my school is a val. It's not hard because the vast majority of them take blow off classes. I'd say we have about 100/ year in a class of about 1600. After I got a B I dropped from 1 to about 130. It's like, huh? Plus, we have no weight for honors classes. Oh well. Nobody cares about class rank at my school lol.</p>
<p>Our school is generally just the one with the highest average, but we have very little weighting compared to a lot of other schools on here. After freshman year, it usually stays the same though.</p>
<p>We have <em>no</em> weighting and no +/-s.
Can you imagine who are vals are? xD</p>
<p>You have a class of 1600 :O that's pretty big.</p>
<p>Ours is only 524 and we only have 1 val.</p>
<p>We have a 100 pt. scale, so we always have someone</p>
<p>We have a class of like 600 with low weighting (AP/IB are out of 4.5) and we manage to get a Val.</p>
<p>We're at 10 "vals" (or we call them top "10" LMAO), out of around 900 kids.</p>
<p>Not bad, really, but I don't think we rank officially, but just put on the title of "top ten".</p>
<p>Rank isn't a big deal at my school IMO.</p>
<p>woof <em>begs for treat</em></p>
<p>We don't have valedictorians at my school. There so many ties. My school does it the other way around. If there are 5 people who have the highest GPA, they are automatically said to be 5th in the class, as opposed to 5 valedictorians.</p>
<p>Then again, ranks don't appear on our transcripts.</p>
<p>^That stinks. At my school people jump around like crazy. I went from 38 at the end of last year to 5 this year.</p>
