Additional Comments:
NOTE: EQAO results should not be the basis for comparisons among schools.
The results of one test administered at
one point in the year hardly form the basis for comparisons of schools’ overall quality.
Moreover, test scores in and of themselves don’t necessarily provide the whole picture of any student’s or school’s
achievement. A school might produce strong results although its students are not achieving their full potential.
Another school, on the other hand, might not perform as well as others, based on the numbers alone, but may
demonstrate substantial progress when measured over time and against specific targets.
