High schools have valedictorians. But most colleges don't have those... Instead, they typically do the Latin honors such as Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude, Summa Cum Laude etc . These are based on GPA ranges.
Its very hard to rank students at the colleges since their course work can vary a lot. Its easy in high school because there is a very limited set of courses students can take
