Grade 6 Reading EQAO Results

The Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) annually assesses the reading, writing and math skills of Ontario’s Grade 6 students. EQAO is an arm's-length agency of the provincial government and provides parents, teachers and the public with accurate and reliable information about student achievement.

In 2008-09, 69 per cent of English-language students and 77 per cent of French-language students met or exceeded the provincial standard (Level 3 on the scale of 1 to 4, or grade level B) on the EQAO Grade 6 reading assessment.

Ontario's target is for 75 per cent of students to be meeting or exceeding the provincial standard in reading, writing and mathematics
