Top students.
The pinnacle of success in school is achieved by getting into the pinnacle of the student cohort. Because when you're on top, you REALLY are.
Top students usually get the best of what the school has to offer. Top students get the most praises from the best teachers, the best commendations and the best wishes from everyone else. Top students get the greatest exposure on school newsletters and brochures and leaflets and posters. Top students have the best access to the best of things that lie in the distant future. Top students, in a nutshell, form an executive taxonomic group known as "the cream of the crop".
There's no need to loathe them. In fact, they are so-called because there are some characteristics and abilities that people notice in them, which are worth commending and emulating. The school gives credit to such people, so that their endeavors are given recognition as well. And of course, in the spirit of service, commitment and 'pagkakakawang-gawa', they are awarded and honored with gleaming, humongous medals and shining, shimmering, splendid trophies.
And, not to mention that they are recognized as such, so that the rest of the students will be convinced that it is always 'good' to be good.
