Ask if they will also do away with scorekeeping for all athletic events

You have her junior year ranking and that’s the one that will go on

Valid point; colleges make entrance decisions before val/sals are decided.

No one who applies to college applies at the valedictorian. She'll simply list her class rank as #1 and will be good.

Suggest that the school implement this starting with the incoming Freshman class

Why can they do it for the Sophomores and below?
