FILE - In this June 14, 2014 file photo, Carmen Stringfield introduces the valedictorian at their commencement ceremony at Pender High School in Burgaw, N.C. In a movement that has gathered steam over about the past decade, schools around the country have stopped numbering students from valedictorian on down. Instead, they've adopted honors that recognize everyone who scores at a certain threshold - by having multiple valedictorians, for example, or awarding college-style cum laude honors. (Jason A.

Carrow has been leading efforts at the school to replace the traditional class ranking system with a Latin honors cum laude system that recognizes all students who achieve a certain academic threshold. The ranking of students from No. 1 on down, based on grade point averages, has been fading steadily for about the past decade and about half of American schools no longer report class rank.
