We are encouraged by the success of our students and our teachers. We continue to be committed to helping students at Levels 1 and 2 to improve. Additional data and recommendations from EQAO, as well as planning at the school and system level, will provide us with a basis for action to improve student learning. The assessment identifies students as demonstrating achievement at one of four performance levels with Level 3 identified as the provincial standard and Level 4 considered to be above expectations. In commenting on the EQAO results, Laughlin stressed that this information needed to be interpreted in conjunction with other indicators of student achievement.
Education is a partnership between the home and the school.
We know that both parents and teachers have a significant impact on children's achievement. We must continue to work together to ensure all students are getting the support they need. The results presented below are based on the EQAO's Method 1 presentation and includes all students who participated in the assessment including those who were exempted and for whom no data was collected. Last year, French Immersion students in grade 3 did not participate in the assessment. This year, grade 3 French Immersion students participated in the mathematics portion and their results are factored into the overall Board results.
