How to read this

These are results for the Grade 9 mathematics assessment and the literacy test, which a student sits once. Both were reported for this school, for a single 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.

Registering here

Renting near St. Francis Xavier Catholic Secondary School does not assign a child to it: the attendance area belongs to Halton District School Board, it changes, and placement depends on programme, grade and capacity. This school teaches 9-12, so confirm the grade you need is offered at the address you are considering. Before- and after-school care is run separately from the school day — the licensed facilities listed above are the operators to contact directly.
