Rating your child’s school

Our School Report Cards include detailed tables for each school that show how it has done in academics over a number of years. This helps parents select a school for their children and evaluate a school’s ongoing performance.

More Informed Parents
By first studying a school’s report card, as a parent, you will be better prepared to ask relevant questions when you interview the principal and teachers at the schools you are considering.

You can also use the report cards to determine whether a school is improving over time.

Teachers and administrators can use the report card to compare results for their school with those of other schools whose students share personal or family characteristics. Seeing what other schools have accomplished can help each school’s ongoing improvement efforts.

How Is our Research Conducted?
We use objective, publicly-available data to rate the schools, such as average scores on provincial tests provided by provincial education ministries. Read our Frequently Asked Questions for more details.
