What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Georgetown and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- The kinds of school. Grades shown are the published range, from junior kindergarten (JK) upward.
- The year. The open list of 2024-25.
- Boards and systems. Boards are set by language and, in Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan, by faith: public or Catholic.
- Bands, not ranks. Each result is placed in a fifth of Ontario’s schools on the same measure; a school’s band averages its fifths. EQAO doesn’t report small groups, so no school is ranked to the place.
- What isn’t here. Ontario’s private schools aren’t in the open list; no province publishes inspection grades.
