Glenbard Eliminates Class Rank
Other suburban school districts that have done away with class rank include: Wheaton Warrenville Unit District 200 and Naperville Unit District 203, according to media reports.
Class rank will be a thing of the past starting with the 2015 graduating classes at Glenbard High School District 87 schools.
The school board on Monday approved a new policy that eliminates class rank and instead, "provides colleges with the highest weighted and unweighted grade-point average of each graduating class," according to the Daily Herald.
Those in support of the change say it will keep students from stressing over class rank, which they can't "entirely control;" will allow students to take more classes that interest them; and will help colleges evaluate students "in a more holistic way," the Daily Herald reports.
