Measurement and Limitations

The Education Quality and Accountability Office, called EQAO, is an independent agency that creates and administers large-scale assessments to measure Ontario students’ achievement in reading, writing and math at key stages of their education. Students in grades 3, 6, 9 and 10 are assessed.

The EQAO provides reports on the achievement of school boards, schools, individual students and the Ontario publically-funded school system as a whole.

Score is the percentage of students taking the test that perform at or above the provincial standard.

Patterns and Trends

Whereas most students taking academic mathematics met the standard, about half of those taking applied mathematics did not.
