Should high schools have only one Valedictorian?

The point is that the “rules” often encourage kids to make poor choices that go against the grain of real education. For instance in some school system a student who takes an extra class, say Latin, takes a hit to their GPA because the school does not offer an AP in that subject. If they want to become valedictorian, and in some cases be then eligible for special scholarships, they are better off taking a standard course load than stretching themselves with the extra class.
