About Fraser Institute Ratings

The Fraser Institute rates Ontario's 3,000+ schools out of 10 using nine academic indicators from provincial EQAO test results. Ratings reflect academic performance only — not extracurriculars, arts, or community culture. Some French immersion programs are excluded from ratings. Always visit the school and speak with the community before deciding. View all ratings at compareschoolrankings.org →
