York Region’s private, public and Catholic high schools will get their report cards Sunday.

The Fraser Institute will release its Report Card on Ontario’s Secondary Schools 2014, the go-to source for measuring school improvement, March 2.

The report card ranks 740 public and Catholic schools and a small number of private schools based on seven academic indicators using data from the annual provincewide tests of literacy and math managed by Ontario’s Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO).

It spotlights special needs and English as a Second Language percentages in each school and helps parents and educators compare schools by showing which schools have improved and which schools have fallen behind.

The information also demonstrates how perceived barriers to learning, including low parental income, are often overcome.

The Fraser Institute is an independent Canadian public policy research and educational organization with offices in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and Montreal and ties to a global network of 86 think-tanks. Its mission is to measure, study, and communicate the impact of competitive markets and government intervention on the welfare of individuals. To protect the Institute’s independence, it does not accept grants from governments or contracts for research.
