	The school system does not seperate students into grades by year, but ~~rather~~ ranks them in each subject and places them in classes ~~along side~~ students of a similar rank. This allows children ~~who are struggling~~ on one subject or another to progress at their own pace, without being left behind by their peers.

This allows children deficient on one subject or another to progress at their own pace, without being left behind by their peers. Typically there is an average of 3-ranks' difference within a given age group.

	Graduation is achieved once a child has achieved Rank 12 in all subjects, ~~this~~ typically ~~hapens~~ around age 17 or 18(though signficantly younger and older graduates are by no means uncommon). Because the system allows youth to progress at a more individual rate, it is also not uncommon to find a student who has achieved Rank 12 in one subject or another by a very young age but is perhaps behind or merely on track with his or her peers.

	===Early Graduation===		===Early Graduation===
	The main goal of the rank system is to act as a sort of carrot on a stick. Rather than being confined to a rigid system that rinks children by age, they learn from early on that hard work pays off. As soon as Rank 12 is achieved in a given subject, that subject no longer must be studied. Thus, with hard work and determination, an unsavory subject can be completed and put out of the way very early on. The entire program can even be completed early without signficant difficulty.

In [[Foundation]]-controlled space, the education system is reffered to as the Gudersnipe School System or somtimes simple "GS"(Gudersnipe System) for short. This should not be confused with the actual [[Gudersnipe School]], which does not have a kindergarten.

			==Graduation Rates==
			Within most [[GS Town]]s and otherwise [[Foundation]]-controlled areas, failure to graduate is highly stigmatized. Thus, even individuals who fail to achieve Rank 12 along with their peers will often continue to pursue it. The final graduation rate throughout most of the Foundation is 98.7%.

This does not apply to low-level menial labor positions, though is a requirment for promotion to anything higher. Because of the stigma surrounding dropouts, most companies employ a similar policy.
