The Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) has released board and school level results for provincial assessments conducted during the 2022-2023 school year.
The OCDSB’s EQAO achievement results are largely on par with results across the province. The percentage of students meeting or exceeding the provincial standard in elementary ranges from 1% below the province to 2% above. OCDSB secondary results are slightly higher than the province.
This is the second set of annually released provincial assessment data since several changes in administration of the assessment, and the establishment of a new baseline in 2021-2022. Both datasets are based on a destreamed mathematics curriculum, the new EQAO assessment frameworks, changes in reporting, and electronic administration.
More details on the OCDSB results can be found on the website. Board and school level results are available on the EQAO website.
This data will play an important role in identifying trends to inform specific strategies in support of student learning. This may include analysis of EQAO performance by math strands and skills, perceptual data, cohort tracking, alignment with report card data, etc. This can inform targeted and personalized support for students and staff, fostering a more effective learning environment.
In the coming weeks, staff will be working on an Update on Student Learning which will be presented to the Board of Trustees. Additional information will be available at that time, providing an important opportunity for discussion about student learning.
