Abstract	The process of determining class rank does not help students achieve more or reach higher levels of proficiency. Evidence indicates ranking students may diminish students' motivation. High school educators argue that they are compelled to rank-order graduating students because selective colleges and universities require information about students' class rank as part of the application process. That might have been true in the past but it is not nearly as prevalent today. Educators more concerned with developing talent than with selecting talent should take pride in helping the largest number of students possible meet the rigorous criteria and high standards of excellence. Students will too. (As Provided).
