I'm ranked 11th right now, tied with like 8 other people, but unlike your school, AP and Honors classes don't get weighted so grades aren't inflated. I'd rather have your system, seeing as the Valedictorian is going to be a girl who hasn't taken a challenging class in her life and therefore maintains a 99.6 average or something ridiculous like that. Either way, it doesn't bother me, because class rank doesn't mean a thing.
