School Board Progress Reports
Progress in Grade 10 Literacy Test
The Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) annually assesses the literacy skills of Ontario’s Grade 10 students through the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test. 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. The Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test assesses reading and writing skills that students are expected to have learned in all subjects by the end of Grade 9. Students have the opportunity to rewrite the test if they fail; however, they must pass the test or enrol in and pass the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Course to obtain the graduation literacy requirement. For Grade 10 students who were eligible to write the test for the first time and who fully participated in and passed the literacy test, the change from 2002-03 and 2008-09 was 13 percentage points for English-language students and five percentage points for French-language students.
This chart is a snapshot of the progress made in Grade 10 literacy test reading EQAO results by board from 2002-03 to 2008-09.
