AIMS 6TH ANNUAL HIGH SCHOOL REPORT CARD (RC6) Newfoundland and Labrador High Schools Once again, Newfoundland and Labrador provides one of the widest set of measures in the region. Additionally, data for every achievement and engagement indicator measured in the AIMS’ Report Card is available online to everyone through the Department of Education’s K-12 Profile System. While the province already had the greatest depth of information available of any of the four Atlantic Provinces, this year sees the addition of one more new measure – participation in university preparatory courses. The wide number of measures is however, balanced with gaps in available data for many of the province’s smaller schools, meaning only 52 schools have final grades this year of 142 schools with high school enrollment. As always, AIMS will release whatever valid data we have been able to secure for every school on our website at www.aims.ca. Gonzaga High School in St. John’s is the top ranked school in Newfoundland and Labrador, maintaining its ‘B+’ grade. J.M. Olds Collegiate in Twillingate improved from a ‘B’ to a ‘B+’ and was the second place school in the province. Bay d’Espoir Academy earned a ‘B+’ and third place after not receiving a final grade last year, because of insufficient post secondary achievement data. Two schools showed improvement of more than one grade level, with Appalachia High School improving from a ‘C-’ to a ‘C+’ and Holy Heart High School in St. John’s rising from a ‘C+’ to a ‘B’. Two schools also saw their overall grade fall by more than one grade level. Last year’s top school, Dorset Collegiate, saw its grade fall from an ‘A-’ to a ‘B’ and Templeton Academy in Meadows went from a ‘B+’ to a ‘B-’.

If a school does not have at least two years of data for a particular measure it will not receive a grade for that measure. RC6 is based on data from the school years 2003/04, 2004/05, and 2005/06. General • A more detailed breakdown of the results for each ranked high school is published as an insert in the April issue of Progress magazine. A copy of this insert can be found online at http://www.aims.ca/library/rc6insert.pdf • A further expanded data set, including the available results for all reported schools, plus expanded sub-measures for ranked schools is available online to allow for an inter-active cross school comparison on any available measure or a combination of measures. The AIMS Online Report Card can be found on our website at www.aims.ca. • No data is available for the Newfoundland School for the Deaf, the St. John’s Hospital School, and the Newfoundland and Labrador Youth Centre so they are not included in reported schools. http://www.aims.ca/library/nlwebtableRC6.pdf Page 4
