Our daughter’s school doesn’t report rank to colleges, even though they do rank internally, and for graduation. Admissions re-calculate GPA anyway. Don’t stress. Rigor and finding the right classes for an individual student is more important than rank!
Multiple valedictorians??? That’s crazy! Now, our school does an academic hall of honor for students who maintained over a 4.0 AND scored 98th percentile on standardize tests, they are recognized at awards night and graduation, but IMO, the valedictorian should go to one person.
