[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most have OVER a 4.0. AP classes are weighted higher. W-L had 260+ valedictorians last year (in a class of 500ish).  Valedictorian being anything over a 4.0.

Sorry to burst the bubble of the cheater posters. [/quote]

Is this true?  Good grief. [/quote]

Well they still could have cheated… 
And I thought Valedictorian was an individual with highest GPA - 1 person? [/quote]

That is the typical way the title is used but the school can make it want they want I suppose.   But it does not mean much if they slap it on half the graduating class.[/quote]

Yes but who will know they use this non common definition? [/quote]

Well, regional college admissions reps know for one.  They know these large high schools in their territory very, very well.  They know that valedictorian at high school A means something and the title at high school B means nothing because it's given to 40% of the graduating class.
