​â¶Ä‹â¶Ä‹â¶Ä‹â¶Ä‹â€‹â€‹The Primary Assessments of Reading, Writing and Mathematics are conducted each year by EQAO at the end of Grade 3. These assessments measure student achievement of the provincial curriculum expectations in reading, writing and mathematics to the end of the primary division (Grades 1, 2 and 3).
The Junior Assessments of Reading, Writing and Mathematics are conducted annually by EQAO at the end of Grade 6. These assessments measure student achievement of the provincial curriculum expectations in reading, writing and mathematics to the end of the junior division (Grades 4, 5 and 6).
The primary and junior assessments test what students know and how well they apply their knowledge and skills in everyday situations, by requiring students:
- to read and respond to passages
- to write
- to solve mathematical problems
Student work on the assessments is evaluated according to the expectations in
The Ontario Curriculum, Grades 1-8. A four-level assessment scale that reflects the four achievement levels in
The Ontario Curriculum, Grades 1-8 is used to evaluate each student’s work. These four levels are:
- Level 4: Achievement that
exceeds the provincial standard.
- Level 3: The provincial standard. This score identifies a
high level of achievement of the provincial expectations.
- Level 2: Achievement that is
approaching the provincial standard.
- Level 1: Achievement that falls
below the provincial standard.
Board Results
Results from the 2018-2019 administration of the EQAO primary division and junior division assessments of reading, writing and mathematics demonstrated continued excellence in literacy. High proportions of Ji8¸£ÀûÍø students continue to meet or surpass the provincial standard in reading and in writing in both Grades 3 and 6. In the most recent assessment year, 80% of primary students attending Ji8¸£ÀûÍø Catholic schools met or exceeded the provincial standard in Grade 3 reading and 76% met or exceeded this standard in Grade 3 writing. Performance among junior students continues to be exceptional, with 84% of Grade 6 students meeting or exceeding the provincial standard in reading and 86% meeting or exceeding this achievement level in Grade 6 writing.
Math continues to be a concern both provincially and in Ji8¸£ÀûÍø. The proportions of Ji8¸£ÀûÍø students meeting or achieving the provincial standard in primary and junior mathematics have both declined by 1% compared with the previous assessment year. In 2018-2019, 60% of Grade 3 students met or exceeded the provincial standard in mathematics, while 47% of Grade 6 students met or exceeded this standard in mathematics. In Ji8¸£ÀûÍø, elementary mathematics remains an area of focus. Central Ji8¸£ÀûÍø staff continue to dedicate a wide range of supports to schools to improve learning for all students in this important subject area.
