What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. The provincial list for 2024-25.
- Boards and systems. Every public school has a board: English or French, and in this province public or Catholic too. Independent schools have none.
- 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. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside South Walkerville or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
