I offended one of my student teachers when I told him that the gigantic bulletin board that they had at his placement school (also his alma mater, so he was defensive about the school) was violating FERPA by posting the current GPAs of the top 100 students (down to 3 digits past the decimal).
However, most parents don't complain about accolades, so I don't think anyone is complaining much over the recognition of high grades. Personally, I like it because my daughter gets good grades, and I am also proud of her "Senior Scholar" status this year. Colleges send in Dean's Lists to have published in the hometown paper, too. It may not be as specific as the school GPA listing, but you can then tell who
didn't get a 3.5 if they're from your town and not on the list.
If anyone started announcing the names of students who have bad grades, then I'm sure there would be a stink!
