How do you call the straight A student?

In Serbia a student who had in all eight years of primary school an average vote 5,00 (or in all the four years of high school) is called vukovac (from Vuk, a proper name, that means wolf; he actually receives a diploma called Vukova diploma), but in Montenegro his name is luconosa (lightbearer, from Italian luce - light + nosa, only in compounds meaning bearer; he receives a diploma luca).

Well, we have names for the top two students (valedictorian and salutorian) but I don’t think I’ve ever heard a specific name in common use for students with all A’s who aren’t in the very top of their class, other than what you listed in the subject.

I’d hate to tell you what we called straight A students when I was in high school. www.fadzter.com/smilies/buttrock.gif
