[quote=Anonymous]OP, would you send your child to a high school where the valedictorian went to the state flagship, or even an Ivy, but everyone else went to community college or didn’t go to college at all? American high schools are judged, by parents, based on how many of their students go to good colleges. One kid winning all the awards doesn’t help his classmates get into good colleges. So high schools have learned to spread the wealth. School awards in particular are often used to spotlight good students who wouldn’t otherwise stand out to colleges. [/quote]
