"The class the stars fell on" is an expression used to describe the West Point class of 1915. Of the 164 graduates, 59 (36%) attained the rank of general, the most of any class in the history of the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. In the U.S. Army, the insignia reserved for generals is one or more stars, hence the expression. Two reached the rank of five-star, General of the Army, second only to General of the Armies. There were also two four-star "full" generals, seven three-star lieutenant generals, 24 two-star major generals and 24 one-star brigadier generals.

The next best showing was by the class of 1917, with 43 general officers from a class of 139 (31%).
