Hi, Eduardo!
It seems that these subjects do not have 'marks', just a pass/fail grade. So 'pass' would be an option.
On the other hand, I see that "Aprovado" (as is on the screenshot you shared) is when the person passes the year altogether, so you could use 'qualified' and perhaps add a translation note.

I am only guessing! It could mean “habilitado bom” or “histórico bom”. Source: http://sor.ifsp.edu.br/index.php/comunicados-e-boletins-do-c...
It would be ideal to call the school or ask the client for clarification. This acronym is very unusual.

Note from asker:
| Hello, Luiza. It means Habilitado, I found it out. Now, how to translate it in this high school context? |

MB = Muito Bom
Couldn't it be "MB" instead?
Discussion
That was it. Thanks for your help!
‘Qualified’ is a good translation for ‘habilitado’!
Best,
Luiza
