According to my daughter (who may be very competitive), the maximum would be someone with all A's, who went to Oyster-Adams (so they were in a higher Spanish level that gets additional weighting) who is also part of an academy (which also has an additional class with weighting). Not sure what that comes out to, but if the 4.29 wasn't #1, I'm guessing it was just higher than that.
Or all A's, in an academy and taking an AP. I think it is slightly higher than 4.29.

Ive got a 9th grader at Walls, all As, same GPA - I think thats on the higher side because she had an extra honors class in the mix which was weighted

The rankings are on transcripts, not report cards. You can find the transcripts if you go to "documents" in the family section tab after logging on. For whatever reason, my student can't see/access it when they log on but I can.
Well, JR says it on their common app ha info form: https://jacksonreedhs.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/CommonAppHSDetailsSY23-24-1.pdf

Middle school grades show on the transcript but they aren’t included in the cumulative GPA.

You were told wrong. Like PP said, SWW does not provide class rank.

So, step by step, how to find it? I see two secondary report cards and then I see how attention is required to sing up my kids again even though I did that three times. Exhausting.
I'm sending them to school on 26th and will see if they are accepted.
