The comparisons are with the province’s schools, never across provinces.
Which of the 4 boards runs which school
Each board’s schools in the area, largest first.
The four systems cover the same streets, so the nearest school may not be the one a family’s system offers: English or French, public or Catholic, each has its own board.
| Board | System | Schools | Students |

How Medway’s schools do on Ontario’s tests
EQAO’s Grade 3, 6 and 9 assessments and the literacy test, 2024-25: each school against every school in Ontario.
Its School Grade is A: it compares these results with the other towns of the province.
The area’s schools by fifth of the province
Each school’s band is the average of its measures’ fifths. The mark shows an even fifth of the area’s schools.
| Measure | Schools | Middle here | Ontario |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 3 reading | 29 | 81% | 76% |
| Grade 3 writing | 29 | 74% | 65% |
| Grade 3 math | 29 | 72% | 65% |
| Grade 6 reading | 29 | 91% | 88% |
| Grade 6 writing | 29 | 90% | 86% |
| Grade 6 math | 29 | 58% | 51% |
| Grade 9 math | 8 | 61% | 55% |
| Literacy test (OSSLT), first try | 8 | 90% | 85% |
The widest gap is on Grade 3 writing, where the area’s schools reach 74% against 65% in Ontario. Above the middle on 8, below on 0: that is the 8 measures. Over three years, 18 schools gained on most measures and 11 lost ground.

How children get a place in Medway
Catholic schools
A Catholic elementary school usually asks for a Catholic parent or a baptized child; a Catholic high school admits all.
French-language schools
French-language boards admit the children of rights-holders under section 23 of the Charter (a parent whose first language is French, or who was schooled in French in Canada), and may admit others through an admissions committee.
The neighbourhood school
Ask the board first. It holds the enrolment list and points each street to its own school; out-of-area requests go ahead only with space to spare.
The provinces’ education acts and the boards’ own admission policies; check with the board for a given address.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. The levels follow each school’s published grades: elementary below Grade 7 or 9, secondary above, all-grade when it runs the whole way.
- Which schools count. Every school inside Medway’s outline or within 3 km of it, the rule used across the site.
- Boards and systems. A public school belongs to a board of one language; in Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan a board is also public or Catholic. An independent school runs itself.
- The year. The 2024-25 list.
- Bands, not ranks. EQAO publishes shares at the provincial standard; the band places each among Ontario’s schools by fifths.
- What isn’t here. What no open list gives: inspection grades, several years of enrolment, and Ontario’s private schools.
