Educational Standards
Because of the nature of Metro, all credits are awarded using a mastery-based grading scale. Mastery is achieved by holding a 90% or higher on (depending on the course) specific mastery assignments and tests, the entire course as an average, or every single assignment given in the course.

Governance
The Educational Council operates Metro High School. The Educational Council Foundation manages the school’s finances. The Metro Partnership Group advises and assists the school staff on the program, school evaluation and research, professional development, funding and community relations. Seven members serve in the Metro Partnership Group, including three from OSU, three from the Educational Council and one from Battelle. Metro’s principal and staff oversee the day-to-day operation of the school, as well as any and all activities of the students before, during, and after school, and even on the internet on school unrelated sites, on school unrelated computers, outside of school. The Metro School holds regular town meetings (one each trimester, or third of a school year) to discuss and vote up or down changes in significant policies and procedures, such as dress codes, funding and food.
First Graduating Class
On June 12, 2010 the school celebrated the graduation of its first class of students. The first Junior & Senior Prom was held at Franklin Park Conservatory, a partner with Metro and a learning center for students to take botany and other classes not offered in the Metro building. The school's graduation was held at COSI (Center of Science and Industry, also one of learning centers for Metro. Dr. Gene Harris, Superintendent of Columbus City Schools gave a speech to the graduating class along with Mr. Rich Rosen, Vice President of Education & Philanthropy at Battelle. Dr. E. Gordon Gee gave a speech to the students as well to prepare them for the next years at college. A large majority of the graduating seniors will be attending The Ohio State University in the fall, and many others will be attending universities and colleges across the United States.
Funding
Metro High School has received significant support from Battelle, The Ohio State University and Coalition of Essential Schools National to design and open the school. Recurrent funding comes from districts whose students attend the school.
