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 | 81% |
| Grade 3 writing | 69% |
| Grade 3 mathematics | 86% |
| Grade 6 reading | 95% |
| Grade 6 writing | 98% |

The surrounding area
The original town — a harbour, a downtown, and the largest concentration of protected heritage buildings in Oakville.
Old Oakville is where the town started, and it is the part visitors picture. The harbour at the mouth of Sixteen Mile Creek, the Lakeshore Road East retail strip, and the residential streets running south to the water form a compact, unusually intact nineteenth-century core.
