Hello, could you help me, please? What do you call a student who wants to be the 1st / the best, always answers the questions, does extra homework, etc? Are there formal and informal ways to call this person? Thank you very much!

I would refer to him as an over-achiever. As his/her parent, I would call her ‘the best she can be’. As a fellow student, she’d likely be called ‘class president’.
