On Nov. 3, the Education Quality and Accountability Office released data showing how school boards and individual schools stacked up on standardized tests administered during the 2021-22 school year. Scores are lowest for math, both in Ontario and among local boards. Provincial results were released on Oct. 20 -- that same day Education Minister Stephen Lecce announced the creation of "math action teams" that will be deployed to underperforming school boards, as well as new universal reading screening that will start in 2023-24 and see students in senior kindergarten to Grade 2 screened "using evidence-based tools." The data below shows what percentage of students are at or above the provincial standard in each subject area. Visit eqao.com to find results for individual schools.
