Buy your grades. Buy your future.
But what happens when the rest of the world finds out?

Lily is Above the Average, barely. Soon, the giant and very public academic leaderboards will update everyone’s class rank, and for another day, everyone will know their place. If you fall Below the Average - say goodbye to college, and pretty much everything else. Below the Average students are nothing more than social outcasts, not worth anyone’s time. In the face of an intense and perverse culture of performance, Lily must find her place in the status quo as she watches friends and enemies alike destroy themselves and each other to score their way to the top.

When an impossible lie is discovered, the fate of these students' futures hangs in the balance. Debuting just weeks after the College Admission Scandal took the nation by storm, Ranked asks - What are you worth? Who decides? And what do you do when it all comes crashing down?

This fast-paced script, written by Union Mine High School graduate Kyle Holmes, moves with urgency while capturing the complexity and nuance of being a driven, vulnerable teenager. And David Taylor Gomes delivers a rich, vibrant original score that captures the frenetic energy of high school, with catchy pop/rock melodies that will be stuck in your head for days.
