Students in English- and French-Language Schools
NEWS
TORONTO, October 12, 2023—Following the release of the Education Quality and Accountability Office’s (EQAO’s) provincial data for its assessments administered during the 2022–2023 school year, EQAO is making its school- and board-level assessment results available today. These results showcase whether students are meeting the provincial standard in reading, writing and mathematics at key stages of their education. The results also provide additional insights into students’ attitudes and perceptions related to their learning.
The public release of EQAO’s 2022–2023 assessment results at the provincial and local levels marks the second year of the agency’s reporting on the results of its digitalized and modernized provincial assessments.
EQAO is reporting assessment data on its website through an individual school and school board search function and through the EQAO data reporting tool, a platform that leverages interactive and user-friendly dashboards that educators, parents and guardians and the public can access to view assessment and questionnaire data at the provincial and local levels.
EQAO’s evidence-based data can be analyzed by educators across the province as they review and develop strategies to support each student’s learning journey. By making contextual, attitudinal and achievement data for each school and school board available, the agency meets its mandate of contributing to the accountability of Ontario’s education system, and contributes to the ongoing conversation about student learning and achievement.
More than 580 000 students across the province completed EQAO assessments at the elementary and secondary levels of the English- and French-language school systems during the 2022–2023 school year.
