Is the "Honor Roll" a real award anymore?

@Leerin:

It usually varies from school to school. Most schools have something akin to this to distinguish the “top scholars.” At my school an honor roll equals to all As and Bs, and a Principal’s List equals all As.

@MaineLonghorn:

I am not surprised. From what I’ve heard, there was a middle school with about 85% of its students on the honor roll. And some schools nowadays have been doing away with the honor roll altogether.

@marybee333:

I certainly see what you are trying to say. The problem here is that some of these honor roll students may not be prepared for college, which is why standardized testing is a necessary evil.
