Relative Student Standing
It is important for all students to become familiar with the method by which the calculation and reporting of relative student standing is performed; it is an important tool used by colleges and employers to evaluate a student's progress in high school.
Elements Included in Student Standing
-
Student standing will be computed for all students and is based upon coursework completed only at MOHS.
-
Every course a student takes will count in the calculation of student standing.
-
Every existing course, and any new course adopted by the Board of Education in the future, will be weighted according to four categories: Advanced Placement, Honors, College Preparatory, or General.
-
Student standing will be computed at the end of each academic year for grades 9 – 11 and at the end of the third quarter for grade 12, for the purpose of identifying the class valedictorian and salutatorian.
-
To be included in the calculation in student standing, a student must have completed at least five semesters at MOHS.
-
Student standing will be determined based upon marking period grades, midterm exams, and final exams if given.

The letter grades earned will carry assigned GPA weights according to the table below:
