She had one B. At my high school, she would have never been valedictorian simply because the competition would have been more fierce. Yes, she took AP classes, which is often figured in as 5.0 in a standard 4.0 scale, but not always. The fact remains that she got a B. Perhaps the person they chose for co-valedictorian had a spotless all-A GPA without AP classes. Perhaps the co-valedictorian found a cure for cancer and has been accepted to a direct-entry MD/PhD program with a full-ride scholarship. We can't see the entire picture from one article that reads as biased.
That said, this woman should have the opportunity to be heard by the school board, and to fight for the title she feels she has earned.
