Few questions:

In a great number of Ranma fics that I've read, Akane is a very good
student at Furinkan while Ranma is utterly horrible.  Is there anything in
the manga that would support this, or is this just a fanfic cliche?

Also, is there ever any indication as to how good a student Ukyou is?  And
does she go to school for the normal hours, or does she have a shorter
school day to manage her restaurant?  How about Kodachi, is she a good
student; she's painted in many fics as a genius who learns nothing from
school because she knows it all already...is this true?

Thanks.
