Ranks

Students are ranked, using colors, to help narrow the classification of abilities. There are currently four ranks: Ranks aren't only graded by abilities, but also by academic acheivement/standing. Teachers are given the right to not only upgrade you when they feel you have reached a high enough mark to move to the next level, but also to degrade you for bad behaviour. Ranks are not only for show; there are special privileges which come with the higher ranks. Dorms are also sorted by rank.
