EQAO ranking available for the 2021-2022 school year in Greater Toronto Area 

The 2021–2022 school year marked a return to EQAO’s provincial assessment administrations, which had been paused for the prior two years.

Over the period of the pandemic, Grade 3 and 6 student achievement results in reading and writing have remained stable, relative to those in 2018–2019, but have decreased in mathematics.

There was a decrease from the 2018–2019 results for the Grade 9 Assessment of Mathematics. In 2018–2019, Grade 9 students were accessing the streamed (i.e., applied or academic) program they were enrolled in.

Please be noted the below changes as newly “First Time”:

1. in the past, EQAO reported assessment achievement results for all students, not for fully participating students only. Since the year 2022, it’s calculated as a percentage of fully participating students who met the provincial standard.

2. The number of students in the 2021–2022 Grade 9 cohort participating in the Grade 9 assessment is lower than in previous years due to unforeseen circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which prevented some students from participating.

3. For the first time, EQAO is reporting on the student achievement results of its new digitalized and modernized assessments.

4. For the first time,  the grade 9 math results were reported as combined academic and applied achievement results instead of results separately by course type.

5. For Grade 10  OSSLT, a new mode of delivery (online) and a new assessment model (testlet-based linear on the fly) was introduced and started for the 2021-2022 school year, which differ from the prior paper-based assessments.
