This paper presents survey data concerning the procedure for determining Class Rank and Valedictorian status at 232 of the 500 largest public high school districts in the United States. These data are analyzed to consider whether or not districts are currently employing methodologies that provide students with appropriate incentives and provide colleges with appropriate information. In summary, the majority of high schools (in the sample) place additional weight on advanced placement and, at times, honors courses. However, this is typically done using methods that have flaws including inequitable premiums, rewarding students for doing less, and confusing and conflicting information. The findings of this survey suggest that current State-based "percent-plans" or other guaranteed admissions programs may not be targeting the intended students.
