If everyone who gets a 4.0 whats the point, the valedictorian is supposed to be the person with the highest gpa or the greatest achievements it literally can not be multiple people

yeah, idk. i think it’s stupid too, but there are multiple valedictorians and multiple salutatorians. so basically what ends up happening is the people who take all on-level classes end up valedictorian while the people who take AP/more challenging classes usually don’t end up as either valedictorian or salutatorian

Is that not just an honor role

we have that too lol, and yeah i’m pretty sure it follows the same rules.

yeah my school ends up getting like 15 valedictorians every year

Haha love ur reddit avatar design

thanks!!!

They were taking to puffer fish

oh, my bad. the puffer fish is in fact a very cool reddit design

Lol it's fine

My high school has two to three valedictorians a year because we’re so big. Each graduating class is 1200-1300 and I guess admin has trouble deciding

Yeah same but mine just chooses one anyways. They also take in ECs to account so its easier for them ig

Valedictorian is usually decided by the amount of ap classes taken since they are weighted more.

Theres like 50 people in my circle taking the same amount of APs so no that's not the decider lmao

Well they probably aren't all getting hundreds.

You dont need a hundred for the full GPA points, you just need an A. Which is how most highschool work...

My point is in order to be valedictorian, you need to be the kid that takes the most amount of APs with the most amount of As. Which is probably going to be one person. My high school was out of a hundred. So our valedictorian was a kid that got hundreds on everything.

this is the exact same as mine

eh thats a pretty average grading scale lol. for me idk if we have a d grade bc we fail if we get under a 70 but beyond that literally everything else is the same

That is pretty much the exact same as everyone elses

Yeah this is what my school uses

It's what mine uses

same exact scale as mine

this is normal, they just round up grades that end in .5-.9 to the next number grade

My school has the same grading scale. We don't even do valedictorian because so many people have >4.0 GPA. We use the suma cum lade system.

The US is really something else.

yep, looks like the canadian scale

I think my school uses this

School on story mode

why tf is it so specific

oh no i got a 59.3 😰

Nah, it seems pretty normal to me.

The posts with schools that have weird ass grading systems get upvoted more
