there are usually more than the top three but a range on gpa or grade point average. usually the gpa ranges from 0 to 4 and some schools go up to 5 but they end up having to "translate" it into the more widely used 4 point scale.
but i believe graduating with honors is in the range of 3.5 to 4.0 gpa. there are 3 "ranks" you can be included in - *** laude, summa *** laude and magna *** laude. *** laude itself means "with honors" in latin. i can't remember what summa means but magna is like saying with the greatest of honors.
but basically it means you are the cream of the crop so to speak.
im sorry but they seem to be blocking out the word C U M which is understandable BUT it means "with" in latin

its having the top grades and being in the Honor's Program (only those that have the best grades are invited into this elite group).
It doesn't mean "top three" since at a college level there could be several hundred with the same GPA.

if you're in the UK, a degree with honours is a 1st / 1:1 / First class
But from your spelling of the word i guess you're in the states so I don't know
