CECCE Stands Out Once Again with Remarkable EQAO Results

Students of the Conseil des écoles catholiques du Centre-Est (CECCE) have once again demonstrated outstanding performance on the assessments administered by the Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO). Again this year, the CECCE stands out by surpassing the provincial average across all tests highlighting the strength of its pedagogical approach and the collective commitment to student success among its 32,000 learners.

The EQAO assessments in Grades 3 and 6, as well as the provincial Grade 9 Mathematics test, represent the percentage of students who demonstrated a thorough understanding (Level 4) or a good understanding (Level 3) of the subject evaluated.

The Grade 10 Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT) results represent the percentage of students who successfully passed the test.

EQAO Results (Grades 3 and 6)

Grade 3 students at the CECCE outperformed provincial results in all components, once again confirming the strength of early learning within the school board.

• Reading : CECCE 78 % | Province 73 %
• Writing : CECCE 74 % | Province 69 %
• Mathematics : CECCE 78 % | Province 75 %

Grade 6 results demonstrate effective support, particularly in writing, where the CECCE exceeds the provincial rate by five percentage points.

• Reading : CECCE 93 % | Province 89 %
• Writing : CECCE 84 % | Province 79 %
• Mathematics : CECCE 68 % | Province 64 %

Provincial Mathematics Assessment (Grade 9)

Grade 9 students also surpassed the provincial average, demonstrating a strong understanding of Ontario's mathematics curriculum and exceeding Ontario French results by five percentage points.

• CECCE 71 % | Province 66 %

Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (Grade 10)

A total of 95% of first-time eligible students who participated successfully passed the OSSLT. This high success rate shows that the vast majority of CECCE students achieve the expected literacy competencies on their first attempt, further strengthening the board's longstanding excellence in literacy.

• CECCE 95 % | Province 94 %
