Note 1
Not all the province’s elementary schools are included in the tables or the ranking. In some school districts that operate middle schools or junior high schools, the elementary schools may not enroll students in grade 6. Since the Report Card is based on the results of tests given in grades 3 and 6, these elementary schools cannot be included. In addition, schools at which fewer than 15 students were enrolled in each of these grades are excluded. Private schools and federally funded schools operated by First Nations are not required to administer the EQAO tests. Since the results of these tests form the basis for this Report Card, only those schools that administer the EQAO tests could be included. Finally, also excluded are schools that did not generate a sufficiently large set of student data to enable the calculation of an Overall rating out of 10.
The exclusion of a school from the Report Card should not be considered a judgement of the school’s effectiveness.
