EQAO math scores for Grades 3, 6 and 9 students increase for the third year in a row.
The Grand Erie District School Board's Grade 3, 6, and 9 EQAO assessment scores significantly increased in reading, writing and math. Grand Erie's Grade 10 Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT) applied results increased 4 per cent, and academic results remain at 90 per cent.
"We are committed to learning at every level of the district, guided by the moral imperative that students remain at the core of everything we do. As a principled learning organization, our progress is rooted in supporting every learner and in our shared belief that learning is continuous. Achieving this requires a collective, dedicated effort by our exceptional staff working alongside families to support the students we serve each day. We are entrusted with ensuring that student gains and successes reflect our perseverance and our deep understanding of the high expectations that help each unique learner thrive.
This commitment drives us forward as we prepare students to be future-ready. The results reflect our ongoing journey, showing where students are now and where we need to grow as a learning organization to strengthen achievement further.
These positive outcomes demonstrate that every student can learn and reach their potential. The most significant contributors to this success are our educators, whose passion continues to shape environments where students learn, lead, and inspire. The gains in achievement highlight curiosity in action, confident exploration, and creative, critical thinking. This collective momentum defines another year of meaningful collaboration, one focused on fidelity to the curriculum, strengthening math content knowledge, and understanding the needs of the math learner. As we look ahead, we can take pride in how far we have advanced as a district," says Dr. JoAnna Roberto, PhD, Director of Education.
