How do you become valedictorian?

At my school, it’s simple. Whoever has the highest GPA is valedictorian. We’re ranked out of 100, so it’s a lot less likely multiple people will have the same GPA. Only our IB/AP classes are weighted, and you can only take them junior and senior year.

It works out that a 93 weighs to a 100 (you can’t go over 100). So really, people in full IB are the only ones who have a chance at val/sal. I’m currently 1, and 2 and 3 are also full IB. This likely won’t change at all because, since we get weighted up the same, whoever was highest before will stay highest. It’s all staying pretty proportional.
