star student
Best in class
A star student is one who excels academically or stands out as exceptional in a class or school.
The phrase carries connotations of consistent high achievement and teacher approval: She was the star student in her chemistry class.
It can also be used ironically for someone who falls short: Our star student here forgot to do the assignment.
