Ranking the schools: how to use the table

Where to find the ranking table

The table showing the ranking of the schools will be found on the French version of this study, Bulletin des écoles secondaires du Québec.

In this table, Classement des écoles, schools are ranked (in the column, Rang provincial, on the left of the table) in descending order (from 1 to 474) according to their academic performance as measured by the overall rating out of 10 (shown in the column, Cote globale, on the right hand side of the table) for the school year 1998/1999. Each school's average ranking over the last five years and average overall rating out of 10 over the last five years are also listed. The higher the overall rating out of 10, the higher the rank awarded to the school. Where schools tied in the overall rating, they were awarded the same rank. Where fewer than five years of data were available "nd" appears in the table.

Not all the province's high schools are included in the tables or the ranking. Excluded are schools at which fewer than 15 students were enrolled in Secondary V. These schools do not generate a sufficiently large set of student data to allow a fair and reasonable analysis and presentation of the results.

Also excluded from the ratings and rankings are centres for adult education; continuing education programs; schools that cater largely to non-resident foreign students; and certain alternative schools that do not offer a full high-school program.

The exclusion of a school from the Report Card should in no way be construed as a judgement of the school's effectiveness.
