Um, no. No, he wasn't. From all I have read - which is quite a bit - Tolkien was not a "top student".

"To celebrate this moment, Uncle John and I took Pythius to Humblebee Wood, which lies about two miles from Winchcombe. This wood was walked by Tolkien just before he wrote Lord of the Rings, which intrigued me."
