@milee30 Interesting, and very different from my son’s HS (ranked #1 public HS by WSJ) where there were (as evidenced by naviance data) very clear GPA/SAT break points on admissions success at elite colleges. HS didn’t rank, but naviance data would seem to indicate that college AO’s were very aware of the difference between a 95.3 and a 95.7 GPA. My feeling is that kids who were below the top third who would have been top 1% at a more conventional HS probably would have had greater success in college admissions had they gone elsewhere.
