Is the "Honor Roll" a real award anymore?

With the creeping grade inflation and lowered standards in American schools, does the honor roll actually count? In my school, about 25%+ of the students are on the honor roll, and there are several more schools around the nation who have over half of their students on their honor rolls, despite mediocre standardized scores. With the average HS GPA at 3.1 and rising, does the honor roll still mean outstanding achievement, or does it just mean that you are simply average?

Another fun question: What % of students at your school are on the Honor Roll?
