The Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) have released their findings for the province, Halton, and Oakville's publicly funded schools for 2022/2023.
Grade 6 results for Oakville's Halton District School Board (HDSB) elementary schools show that in reading, writing and mathematics, Oakville students scored higher on average than their regional and provincial counterparts.
The Halton Catholic District School Board's results will be posted shortly.
The EQAO assessments use a four-level scoring system to measure student achievement. Here's a general overview of what each level means:
Level 4: Indicates that a student has demonstrated a thorough understanding and application of the knowledge and skills required for their grade level. Level 4 represents a high level of achievement.
Level 3: Students at this level have shown a good understanding and application of the required knowledge and skills for their grade. Level 3 signifies meeting the provincial standard.
Level 2: Indicates that a student has demonstrated a basic understanding and application of the required knowledge and skills but with some gaps. Level 2 suggests that the student is approaching the provincial standard but has not fully met it.
Level 1: Students at this level have shown limited understanding and application of the required knowledge and skills. Level 1 signifies that the student is below the provincial standard.
It's important to note that these levels are not meant to reflect the student's overall abilities or potential but rather a snapshot of their performance on the EQAO assessments.
