Report Card on Quebec’s Secondary Schools 2024
— Published on November 16, 2024
- The Report Card on Quebec’s Secondary Schools 2024 ranks 465 public, independent, francophone and anglophone secondary schools based on provincewide test results in French, English, science and mathematics.
- The Report Card offers parents information they can’t easily get anywhere else, about how schools perform over time and how they compare to other schools in Quebec.
- The Report Card collects a variety of relevant, objective indicators of school performance into one, easily accessible public document so that anyone can analyze and compare the performance of individual schools. By doing so, the Report Card assists parents when they choose a school for their children and encourages and assists all those seeking to improve their schools.
- Contrary to common misconceptions, the data suggest every school is capable of improvement regardless of type, location and student characteristics.
- de la Rive in Lavaltrie is one of the province’s fastest-improving schools, climbing from a score of 1.4 (out of 10) in 2017 to 4.6 in 2023, the latest year of available comparable data, despite 27.5 per cent of students having special needs who require additional support.
- The findings in the Report Card show that schools can improve student performance regardless of which communities and students they serve. Improvement is possible and worth celebrating.
