How to use these rankings
Read this before you shortlist.
The Canada Success Index currently covers Ontario and British Columbia, the two provinces that publish school-level data in open formats. Ontario schools are scored on EQAO results (Grade 3, Grade 6, Grade 9 mathematics and the Grade 10 literacy test) and the Ministry's school demographics; British Columbia schools on Foundation Skills Assessment scale scores in literacy and numeracy. Every component is a percentile within the same province and school level, so an elementary school in Ontario is compared only with other Ontario elementary schools.
- Provinces publish different assessments, so scores are comparable within a province, not between provinces.
- EQAO and FSA are point-in-time assessments and participation varies; FSA scores are averages for schools with at least eight writers.
- Private and independent schools generally have no published assessment results and receive no score.
