Owosso High School was ranked 36 out of 838 Michigan high schools including charter, magnet, and public schools in a "U.S. News and World Report" national ranking of high schools. Owosso scored 1,380 out of 21,776 in the nation of schools that made it past the first two steps.

Although the ranking formula was somewhat complex, this demonstrates that: 1.) Owosso High School students are performing better than statistically expected for the average student in the state and 2.) Owosso High School's least advantaged students are performing better than average for similar students in the state when considering math and reading proficiency ratings. Since Owosso High School met the first two criteria, we were eligible to be judged nationally on the final step--college-readiness performance--using Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate test data as the benchmarks for success. The third step measured high schools that produced the best college-level achievement for the highest percentages of their students.
