If you want to send your kids to the province's best schools, you're going to want to enrol them at Toronto schools Hillmount Public School or St Michael's Choir (Sr) School. The schools ranked 10 and 9.9 out of 10 respectively in the Fraser Institute's annual rankings of the country's best elementary and secondary schools.
The institute ranks schools on a number of indicators including grade 3 EQAO testing and grade 9 EQAO testing. It measures, among other things, if schools are improving academically and if educators are delivering the curriculum, as well as the socioeconomic backgrounds of a school's student body.
GTA schools took eight of the top 10 spots in the elementary school rankings. All of these schools scored a perfect 10/10, which is why previous rankings were taken into account to determine a leader. Hillmount in Toronto and William Berczy in Unionville tied for first place. Arbor Glen (Toronto), Seneca Hill (Toronto), St Justin Martyr (Unionville), and St Michael's Choir (Toronto) tied for fourth place. Silver Stream in Richmond Hill rounded out the top 10.
When it comes to secondary schools, St Michael's Choir (Sr) School took the top spot, but many other GTA schools also ranked among the top 10. Unionville scored a 9.5/10, while Bayview and St Therese of Lisieux, both in Richmond Hill, each scored 9.2/10. Pierre Elliott Trudeau in Markham placed eighth with a score of 9.1/10.
