We are convinced that the concept of rank does not accurately reflect the selective nature of our student body, our rigorous college preparatory curriculum and individual achievement; and therefore, rank could be misleading as an indication of a student’s true academic quality and ability to perform successfully in college. In addition, the dropping of rank is consistent with our philosophy which encourages individual improvement without forcing students to compete against each other and to compare themselves to one another.
