[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BASIS parent here-they do weight their AP grades up AND start ranking students beginning in 5th grade. Their honors and distinguished honors rankings are based on the top 15 and 5 percent of class per term respectively, and their Best in Show awards every year are based on the highest average for the year. My child knows heir ranking in any given class, whether they like it or not. It is impossible, however, to get above a 5.0 in any given class, however.[/quote]

Actually this is not exactly the way the do it from what I have seen so far for grades 5-8 and possibly higher.. Kids know if they make the honor roll or distinguished honor roll but they do not know where they are in relation to other honor roll students. When I was in high school they literally had your grade average rank as compared to others on the report cards so that the student with the highest grade average ranked number 1 and the second highest ranked number 2 and so on ans so forth.

Also, I got the impression that Best in Show was not just the student with the highest grade point average since other factors like participation and enthusiasm and dedication are taken into account.[/quote]

Nope, Best in Show is based on year gpa in a given class, ( Make/Takw/Show is what you might be thinking of) and my kid has been told his general ranking before in a given class (top 5/10 etc) without asking by admin.[/quote]
