The Fraser Institute issued this week its Report Card on Elementary and Secondary Schools in British Columbia. The report card is based on a number of indicators of school performance that are then combined into one score and ranking.
Catholic schools like St. Michael’s and St. Thomas More in Victoria and Burnaby respectively were again near the top of the lists.
Religious based and private schools performed the best on the list.
The indicators are measured annually and can assess each school’s performance in a year and its improvement or deterioration over time. There are seven indicators used to rate each school’s academic performance.
