The Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method was applied in a Decision Support System (DSS) to identify non-academic high-achieving students at SMA XYZ, Central Lampung. The assessment includes four main criteria: competition achievements, organizational involvement, discipline and attendance and ethics and social behavior. This method used weighting, data normalization, and a final score calculation to rank the students objectively. The results showed that SAW effectively reduced subjectivity and produced fair and structured rankings. Among the ten students evaluated, Student 2 achieved the highest score of 9.4. The implementation of SAW in this DSS provided a more accountable basis for decision-making. It can serve as a data-driven evaluation model for non-academic performance in educational institutions.
