My high school didn't keep track of ranks...the sheer number of 4.0 GPAs in my 700+ student class precluded such a possibility. I had a 3.81 though four years of HS, so I was probably somewhere in the top 25%.

My school officially said that they didn't do ranks, but if you ask the counselors they'd give it to you. The top 25% of my school had 4.0+ GPA. I think I had a 4.78 by the end of senior year 😀.
 
Heh...I don't know and I don't really care, once you get to college, you realize just how unimportant high school is/was (except for the getting you into college of course)

My school didn't go any higher than 4.0, even for AP classes. 4.0 was rediculously hard to achieve, IMHO, but some people did it. I chose to captain the cross-country team and run varsity track instead. 🙂

That GPA is bullshiz. I took 23 AP classes and they didn't inflate my GPA. On other scales like the one at your school, I would have had well over a 5.XX GPA.

It's not possible to get 5.00 GPA at my school. Just because there are some mandatory unweighted classes and weighted classes are only worth 5.00. I think out of my 24 classes, 16 of them were weighted or something like that I can't remember.

Haha... my unweighted GPA = 4.00 😉
I think at least the top 20 people had 4.00 unweighted. My school was fully of overachievers.

No, I don't dress up like star war characters and play with toy lightsabers 😉.

I didn't bother studying for Drivers Ed since I was so busy with all my Honors/AP classes, didn't think it would matter. Haha.
