The Fraser Institute's annual Report Card on Ontario's Elementary Schools was released Sunday and this year, École Saint Raymond and Vincent Massey Public School both topped the local list.
The report by the right-wing think tank ranks more than 3,000 public and Catholic elementary school across Ontario, both anglophone and francophone.
Tied in the ranking as the top-ranking local schools, École Saint Raymond and Vincent Massey both placed 986 out of 3064 schools across the province.
The rankings are based on nine academic indicators using results from annual provincial reading, writing and math tests
“The Report Card is a valuable tool for parents and educators, who can use it to find schools serving similar students elsewhere in the province that consistently perform better," said Peter Cowley, director of School Performance Studies at the Fraser Institute.
"By doing so, they can access success demonstrated by other similar schools so to improve their own school’s performance,” he added.
