New batch of EQAO test results released

The province's Education Quality and Accountability Office released its latest student testing results. 

The study measures students in Grades 3 and 6 across Ontario in the areas of reading, writing and math.  It also measures Grade 9 math results.

The results indicate that Grade 3 and 6 students with the Thunder Bay Catholic District School Board are faring well, finishing above the provincial average in all three categories. 

But it's a different story for Lakehead Public School students, who posted a below average numbers in Grades 3 and 6 in every category.  

But the Lakehead Board did much better in the Grade 9 math testing, finishing four to five percentage points above the Ontario average. 

The Catholic Board's Grade 9 students scored slightly below average in applied math and were in line with the provincial average for academic math. 

The full school-by-school results are available on the EQAO website.
