School Board Progress Reports


Progress in Grade 10 Literacy Test

The Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) annually assesses the literacy skills of Ontario's Grade 10 students through the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test. EQAO is an arm's-length agency of the provincial government and provides parents, teachers and the public with accurate and reliable information about student achievement.

The Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test assesses reading and writing skills that students are expected to have learned in all subjects by the end of Grade 9. Students have the opportunity to rewrite the test if they fail; however, they must pass the test or enrol in and pass the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Course to obtain the graduation literacy requirement.

In 2022-23, the percentage of Grade 10 students who were eligible to write the test for the first time and who fully participated in and passed the literacy test was 85 per cent for English-language students and 91 per cent for French-language students.

Due to Covid-19 pandemic, EQAO assessments were suspended for the 2019-20 and 2020-21 academic years. Given that there were no EQAO assessment results for these academic years and due to changes to the assessments implemented starting 2021-22, the Progress in Grade 6 Reading and Progress in Grade 10 Literacy Test indicators are not available.
