[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those of you arguing for ranking seem to have forgotten the reason why many high schools stopped ranking--because it made the top kids intensely competitive grade-grubbers.[/quote] Yes. My DD (honors/AP level classes at a competetive FCPS HS) was HORRIFIED when she heard that some schools report class rank publicly. It is hard enough maintaining a level head when surrounded by students who think that a perfect GPA is the key to life success (through admission to the "right" college). What would it be like if they were battling over a tenth of a percentage point determining their class rank (and therefore their future). This is not the answer. Not to mention the fact that the #1 student at HS A might be #25 if they went to HS B. Not all schools are equal, so not all class ranks are equal either. [/quote]
