I mean when you have 27 Valedictorians, it tells you something.

In Fairfax County in the 80s/90s, we had one.

Valedictorian: a student (singular), typically having the highest academic achievements of the class, who delivers the valedictory at a graduation ceremony.

The private schools still have one Valedictorian and one Salutatorian.

Salutatorian: the student who ranks second highest in a graduating class and delivers the salutatory. a graduating class and delivers the salutatory.

The terms have come to mean very little in public HS.[/quote]

in most of the top private schools they don’t have valedictorians/etc. and they haven’t for a long time. I went to a top private in NYC and my sister went to boarding school and neither of them had a valedictorian. The person who gave the grad speech at my school was selected by teachers. A lot of these schools also don’t externally rank given small size. [/quote]

I went to a New England boarding school and we definitely had a valedictorian. [/quote]
