Published EQAO results
The percentage of students meeting the provincial standard, as published by the Education Quality and Accountability Office. These are EQAO’s own figures. We do not combine them into a score, rank schools against one another, or describe any school as better than another — a single year of results at one school reflects a particular cohort, and reading more into it than that is not supported.
| Assessment | Meeting the provincial standard |
|---|---|
| Grade 3 reading | 96% |
| Grade 3 writing | 87% |
| Grade 3 mathematics | 89% |
| Grade 6 reading | 100% |
| Grade 6 writing | 100% |
| Grade 6 mathematics | 79% |
The surrounding area
Large lots, mature trees and quiet crescents between Morrison Road and Ford Drive — often called Eastlake.
Morrison is the low-density, heavily treed south-east quadrant, and the area most consistently described by what it lacks: no commercial strip, no transit spine, no through traffic. Streets curve and end rather than connect, which keeps traffic to residents and makes the area quiet in a way the grid neighbourhoods to the west are not.
