The method used is the TOPSIS (Technique for Order Performance by Similarity to Ideal Solution) algorithm by using several criteria, namely: Mid Test Score, Final Exam Score, Extracurricular, Personality, and Attitude. The results of student data processing using the decision support system obtained weights of 1, 0.57188272655161, and 0.56259472567445 for rank 1 to rank 3. The implementation of this Decision Support System is beneficial and makes it easier for the school and the homeroom teacher to determine ranking for the selection of prominent class students.
