Honor roll is students who have top grades in all subjects. In some
schools, 
it's divided into two categories, those who have the absolute top grade in

every class, and those who have mostly the top grade, with maybe 1 class 
where they're one rank lower. Students also must have good conduct and 
regular attendance.

Since different schools have different criteria even for grades, not to 
mention that there is no standard curriculum, honor roll and grades in 
general don't mean much, but if you go to a 6-12 yr old s****ts event,
you'll 
see a lot of "My child is an honor student at X school".

Sometimes school privileges are granted based on honors status, like being

able to leave campus for lunch, but I think those are getting rarer.
