*updated with graphs*
The EQAO results are in. These are the standardized tests in reading, writing and math that are written by all grade 3 and grade 6 students across Ontario.
I will try to grab some year-over-year results and comparison graphs but in the meantime,
here's a report that shows all TDSB school results - scroll down to find Clairlea. (The numbers given are the percentages of students at levels 3 and 4, meaning they are either at or above the provincial standard.)
For more information on the EQAO testing and how Clairlea has fared in the past, click the EQAO tag at bottom-right or
view last year's post.
*updated* Here is Clairlea's report: http://eqaoweb.eqao.com/eqaoweborgprofile/profile.aspx?_Mident=2916 and some graphs excerpted from it. If you have the time, the report makes for fascinating reading - including gender breakdowns and information about the kids' attitudes to reading, writing and math, as well as data about what happens at home (including the dreaded "screen time," which the EQAO office falsely equates with television).
Above: how Clairlea (dark bar at left) compares to the TDSB (white bar) and the province.
Above: Grade 3 scores over time. It's worth noting that grade 3 French immersion students only write the math portion, and the test is given in French.
Above: Grade 6 scores over time. As painful as the math scores are, at least they are trending in the right direction.
The TDSB Library has created a series of Pinterest boards with book lists for various grades and ages. Including a French board! Check it out. I for one, have had difficulty knowing which French books to buy/borrow since many Scholastic titles seem to be translations of familiar English books.
