Were you the best, worst, or in between in high school?

Hi! I mean academically, what were you in class. Where you one of the highest, one of the average (or maybe slightly above/slightly below if you really want to be specific), or the dead last of your class in high school?

I was one of the top kids from 7th grade up (I know that isn't high school)

(Oh and if you don't live in america you can still answer this, just switch high school with whatever you last years of education were.)

    Definitely the worst... a slacker, and I failed 9th grade! Made it up by graduating with a 3.88 though.

    Near the top, but too lazy to be the best.

    I was so top dog at smoking the pot. Wait, what, that wasn't the question.

    I wasn't the worst in high school but I just didn't care in high school. I skipped so much school that I almost didn't graduate. I more than made up for it when I finally went to college.

    Kindergarten through grade 6: top 5% of the class if not #1

    Grade 7-8 (ages 12-14): probably in the top 15%

    Grades 9-12 (ages 14-18): definitely in the lower 50%. I did not even DO homework or try, except in Art class or anything else I really loved. I skated by with B's and C's by taking tests only.

    College - 1st and 2nd years: top 15-20%

    College - 3rd and 4th years: top 10% definitely. Graduated with honors.

    I was a slacker and partied way too much in HS. 3.5-4.0 GPA maintained in college, though. So, I is smart!

    Exact same story here. I could have just copied your post :-)

    I was in the top 10% in high school - mostly out of fear of disappointing parents, teachers, etc.

    Wow lots of slackers, huh. I wasn''t the best at studying and doing homework either, which was probably why I wasn't #1 in the class or maybe #2...Anyways, I hope no matter where you were you guys all had fun in school!

    I was in between. If I hated the class, then I didn't work particularly hard at it, and if I loved the class I worked hard to do well.

    Near the top but it was way easier than it is now. I hardly ever remember having home work and kids these days have so much more work it seems...so I was the top way back then but likely to be a slacker in today's world!

    I absolutely was a complete underachiever... I sucked in HS. Only year I did well was senior year lmao. Almost failed the 9th grade as well. I'm surprised I made it haha. My last year brought me to in-between territory.

    Let me put it to you this way, on the first day of school for every year in high school I asked the teacher for her grading chart. Homework was a punk *kitten* 20% So Guess who never did homework, but got 100's on tests, and marks for class participation? Me I never EVER did a peice of homewhork in highschool. I graduated a C student but fully capable of giving the history teacher job competition. Im just not a fan of un-rewarded effort

    Absolutely the top of the class in Math, Physics, Chemistry and Computer Science.

    Well below average in French, German, History and Biology.

    I hated football (soccer), ran cross country at county level, played cricket for my village and the local town and played on the school rugby team.

    I failed art class in grade 12, went to re-take it in continuing ed. because it pissed me off so much, fell in love with it, went to art school, and graduated with a bachelor's degree in graphic design.

    Make of that what you will.

    That depends.

    I SUCKED at Maths. I could handle basic multiplication, but Algebra? I mean, come on! Up to this point in life, I have never had to multiply X by Y to get P!

    English on the other hand I was quite good at, along with History. Top classes for English and History, bottom classes for Maths, Science and PE!

    I was stuck in the middle, did not care about my grades. Got my act together in college and pilled a 3.89 GPA.
