How does your school give awards?

Let’s say that there are 50 awards to be handed out. Approximately 20 would be given to our valedictorian. Then, in an attempt to be fair, the remaining 30 would be distributed around the top 10% or so of students. This basically ignores the accomplishments of the rest of the top ten and makes them feel even more overshadowed than usual by our valedictorian, who, to be perfectly fair, is an amazing kid.
