Each year, the Education, Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) administers standardized assessments in reading, writing and math for students in Grades 3 and 6. Grade 9 students complete a math assessment, while Grade 10 students write the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT), a graduation requirement that measures key literacy skills.
The District School Board of Niagara (DSBN) is pleased with its results on the 2025-26 EQAO assessments. DSBN students exceeded the provincial average in all eight assessed areas, with achievement levels ranging from five to 16 percentage points above provincial results.
