APS Valedictorians

[Anonymous]

Admissions offices know that APS does this and evaluate applicants by course loads, grades, extracurriculars, recommendations, test scores, etc.

The only people who care about the whole "valedictorian" thing are a few tightly wound adults. Everyone else just thinks it's nonsense and moves on.

APS doesn't rank but you can see it on transcripts. Does it really say 1 for the first 250 kids?
