<p>I just had a question about high school rankings. My school doesn’t do it (except for finding out who the valedictorian is), but are rankings based on weighted or unweighted gpa? I would imagine that it would be weighted because a student could take all regular courses and get A’s while someone else takes AP’s and gets A’s, but they would still have the same unweighted gpa.</p>
<p>It depends on the school. I think, for the most part, a lot of the competitive high schools do weighted GPAs. Non-competitive schools, such as mine, don’t. So yes, an A in a regular class had the same effect as an A in an AP class. As a result, we had 9 valedictorians.</p>
