[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand how you can claim your elementary or middle school kid is #1.  There don’t rank or separate them.  There’s the “top” students, and then everyone else [/quote]

They say the top 2 of every subject at the awards ceremony, and there are other telling awards. The way it is shaking out for her grade, you can tell #1, have a reasonable guess about #2 and maaaybe #3. After that there's no telling. I agree they do not rank, as I mentioned in my OP.[/quote]

This is bizarre.  I don’t even understand how someone can be #1.  [b]They either have a A or not.[/b]  Top standardized test score? What is the metric here? [/quote]

No. All of their grades are out of 100.[/quote]

And no other kids have a 100 or a 99 or whatever? Sorry, I’m just not buying that there is a #1 elementary school kid or middle school kid for that matter.  You even said they don’t rank, so assume your kid is someone #1 is odd[/quote]

Okay, I'm totally wrong in my assumption that she is the top student. She's just the student who is the most academically celebrated based on GPA by a wide margin. Feel better?[/quote]

What school district does this “celebrating” I’d love to know [/quote]

OP, you do not owe this poster a response, and certainly do not owe them any information. [/quote]
