Ranking the schools

In this table, schools are ranked (on the left hand side of the page) in descending order (from 1 to 462) according to their academic performance as measured by the Overall rating out of 10 (shown on the right hand side of the table) for the school year 1999/2000. 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 insufficient data were available to calculate a rating, "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. For privacy reasons, the Ministry of Education may suppress results generated by very small schools. Thus, there is often not sufficient data available to allow a complete analysis and presentation of the results for these schools.

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.
