We actually had four co-valedictorians since they didn't have tiebreakers if you never got a B. So with one B, I was the salutatorian but technically ended up ranked fifth out of 337.
It was a small town but we only had one high school in a big rural area, so we drew students from as far as 30 miles away. And in a small town, "rich" was relative, so the delineator was more middle class or higher.
The four valedictorians were three kids whose dads had prestigious professional PhD jobs in the local community, and one kid who was the best football player in the school. They were all fine people, so I have nothing at all against them. The coach was the problem.
