Do Not Rank

At Worthington Kilbourne High School we do not rank students. The only exception is for students who have a 4.0 or higher grade point average. All of these students receive a rank of #1 in the class.

The reason behind this procedure is that WKHS is a highly competitive high school environment. For example, in our school, a 3.8 is not in the top ten percent of the class, but in a less competitive high school it might be and so we do not want anything that could potentially reflect negatively on our students to be included on your applications.

When you are asked on applications to write in your ranking or percentile simply write, "School does not rank." (Unless, of course, you have a 4.0 or higher in which case you can write 1st.)

When I complete the counselor report forms that is what I write as well.

Some of you may be curious about your class ranking and while no one else will ever see it, you are welcome to check out your ranking in PrepHQ. (The data has finally been updated.)
