that his professors and classmates deemed / considered as the number one student


Explanation:
There are plenty of references to "number one student" online, which, I believe translates the idea of "primeiro colocado" better (cardinal for ordinal, or vice versa).

lente: professor universitário (professor; not teacher)

condíscipulo: companheiro de escola ou de aula (classmate)
https://dicionario.priberam.org/condiscípulo
