Should high schools have only one Valedictorian?

I prefer one valedictorian, or two if there is a tie. I think it’s nice to recognize them. But it really isn’t an issue at our little rural school, so I might feel differently if we were elsewhere. DD’19 took one AP, got an A and is the only one in her class to have over a 4.0 (lol barely) so the competition isn’t cutthroat. The other girl taking APs says she’s getting C’s so I think DD will get val. She did take the AP mainly to have the opportunity to get a GPA boost and help her ranking but other than that she has taken whatever classes she wanted.
