The province mixes every board, setting and language system together. These medians are drawn from schools sitting the same assessment in the same year, at the same level, in the same language system — so they compare like with like.

Grade 3 · Reading

88% met the standard here — 5.5 points above the median of 82.5% across the 28 Upper Grand DSB elementary schools that reported this assessment, and 6 points above the median of 82% across the 40 publicly funded elementary schools in Guelph that reported it.

Each figure is a median, not an average, and each cohort counts only the schools that published a result for that exact assessment in 2024–2025. Cohorts of fewer than 10 schools are not shown, because a median over a handful of schools moves too much to mean anything.

How to read this

EQAO assessed 6 measures at this school — reading, writing and mathematics, sat in Grades 3 and 6. Each is one cohort in one year. Results are suppressed wherever a cohort is too small to report. This site publishes no ranking or composite score, and a position above or below a median is not a measure of how good a school is: EQAO reports the share of students meeting a standard in one year, and that share tracks the circumstances of the families a school draws from as much as anything the school does.

Neighbourhood

No mapped neighbourhood for this address

This school's location falls outside every neighbourhood boundary the municipality publishes, so there is no neighbourhood page to link it to. That is a gap in the published boundaries rather than in the school's own record.

Rather than attach the nearest mapped area — the closest is kilometres away and the municipality draws no boundary between them — this page leaves the relationship out. Which names have no published boundary, and why, is set out on the data page.

Distances here are short, but a transfer can still dominate a journey — check the real trip at the time you would travel.
