It is recognized that students do their best work in school when they are placed in a grade with other students of the same chronological age. Click here to view MUSD guidelines for placing students at the appropriate grade level for 2023-2024. For the 2022-2023 guidelines, please click here.  Please contact your home school if you have any questions regarding grade-level placement. 

​Public School Districts
Initial grade placement of enrolling students shall be based on chronological age, unless the student is transferring from another public school districts in U.S., case initial placement will be at the grade level the student would have been in at his/her prior school.

If the grade listed in the below chart is different from that prescribed by your student’s current or past school grade, parents must bring evidence to the registration of successful grade completion, or existing grade enrollment, from previous schools (such as a report card, or an existing enrollment report, or transcripts, etc.).

If no evidence is provided, the student will be placed in the grade listed in the below chart at the time of registration. Any subsequent grade change must be discussed with the MUSD school in which your child is enrolled after registration.

Other Countries/ USA Private Schools
Students who come from other countries, who come from private schools within the United States, or who have not been in school for two or more years, are initially placed according to their age. If a student has completed the grade corresponding to chronological age at a private school, MUSD school team will request supporting evidence that student has successfully completed the grade and will follow the district acceleration process.  

Grades 9-12
In addition to the criteria above, MUSD will also consider credits earned toward graduation, transferability of graduation credits from the student’s prior school, and observation and evaluation by classroom teachers and guidance personnel.

Grade Placement will be determined based on the best interest of the student and will consider academic and social-emotional development.
Any subsequent grade change must be directly discussed with the MUSD school administration.

PUPILS OF MILITARY FAMILIES: Assembly Bill 2949 - Pupil Residency

Existing law provides an exception to the residency requirements for a student whose parent is transferred to or is pending transfer to a military installation within the state while on active military duty pursuant to an official military order. AB 2949 adds section 48204.6 to the Education Code to require a local educational agency to permit a student who meets certain criteria to continue attending the student's "school of origin" during that school year, regardless of any change of residence of the military family. If the student's status changes due to end of military service, then the student is allowed to stay in the school of origin for the remainder of the academic year if he or she is between grades 1-8, or through graduation if the student is enrolled in high school. The new law effectively mirrors the laws related to protecting foster youth and homeless children, who are also susceptible to frequent school changes.
