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 | 83% |
| Grade 3 writing | 60% |
| Grade 3 mathematics | 77% |
| Grade 6 reading | 95% |
| Grade 6 writing | 98% |

The surrounding area
The stretch between Bronte and Third Line, where post-war Oakville meets the lake.
Southwest Oakville is the connective tissue between Bronte and the rest of the town, and it is the area people most often struggle to name. It has no commercial centre of its own and no harbour; what it has is a long, quiet lakeshore edge and a large amount of the town's post-war housing.
