How Roseland’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 | 18 | 85% | 76% |
| Grade 3 writing | 18 | 75% | 65% |
| Grade 3 math | 18 | 74% | 65% |
| Grade 6 reading | 18 | 89% | 88% |
| Grade 6 writing | 18 | 91% | 86% |
| Grade 6 math | 18 | 58% | 51% |
| Grade 9 math | 2 | 65% | 55% |
| Literacy test (OSSLT), first try | 2 | 93% | 85% |
The widest gap is on Grade 9 math, where the area’s schools reach 65% against 55% in Ontario. Above the middle on 7, below on 0: that is the 8 measures. At 7 schools more of the measures rose than fell over three years; at 12, more fell.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. 2024-25, the latest open list.
- Boards and systems. Boards come in one language each, and where the province funds Catholic schools, as public or Catholic; independent schools stand outside them.
- 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. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Roseland and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
