Beside comparable schools

The province mixes every board, setting and language system together. These medians are drawn from schools sitting the same assessment in the same year, at the same level, in the same language system — so they compare like with like.

Grade 3 · Reading

81% met the standard here — 5.5 points above the median of 75.5% across the 18 Halton DSB elementary schools that reported this assessment, and 2.5 points above the median of 78.5% across the 30 publicly funded elementary schools in Milton that reported it.

Grade 3 · Writing

73% met the standard here — 7 points above the median of 66% across the 18 Halton DSB elementary schools that reported this assessment, and 2 points above the median of 71% across the 30 publicly funded elementary schools in Milton that reported it.

Each figure is a median, not an average, and each cohort counts only the schools that published a result for that exact assessment in 2024–2025. Cohorts of fewer than 10 schools are not shown, because a median over a handful of schools moves too much to mean anything.

How to read this

EQAO assessed 6 measures at this school — reading, writing and mathematics, sat in Grades 3 and 6. Each is one cohort in one year. Results are suppressed wherever a cohort is too small to report. This site publishes no ranking or composite score, and a position above or below a median is not a measure of how good a school is: EQAO reports the share of students meeting a standard in one year, and that share tracks the circumstances of the families a school draws from as much as anything the school does.

Before- and after-school care is run separately from the school day — the licensed facilities listed above are the operators to contact directly.
