Read a Report Card

Report cards are sent home three times each school year. The Ontario Ministry of Education Web site has a very good guide on how to read your child’s report card. The following is a small excerpt, which we hope will clarify the information you see when the report card arrives. Please refer to the Web site noted below if you would like any additional information.

The Provincial Standard

Level 3 (which corresponds to B- to B+ or 70% to 79%) is the provincial standard. Level 3 is a high level of achievement of the provincial curriculum expectations. Parents of students achieving at Level 3 in a particular grade can be confident that their child will be prepared for the next grade.
