Why Westmount Secondary School has a band rather than a letter
Its standing, the second fifth in Ontario, comes from the province’s published results set beside every other school’s; Westmount Secondary School itself carries no letter, since letters are kept for towns.
The letter belongs to Rolston: its School Grade weighs Westmount Secondary School with every other school around it.
