PERCENTAGE OF ALL STUDENTS AT OR ABOVE THE PROVINCIAL STANDARD (LEVELS 3 AND 4), 2013–2014

On behalf of EQAO, I am pleased to provide you with the results of the 2013–2014 Grade 9 Assessment of Mathematics.

This report includes the 2014 results as well as results for previous years, so you can track progress over time. You’ll also find demographic and attitudinal information, which provides context for interpreting the achievement results.

By assessing all students in our education system at key stages in their schooling, EQAO is able to provide reliable and objective data at the individual student, school and board levels. EQAO results alongside board and classroom assessment data have proven effective for monitoring progress and allowing school communities to make evidence-based decisions in their planning.

At EQAO, we strongly believe that reliable evidence empowers and guides the judgment and actions of professional educators and school communities. We are pleased to continue our partnership with you as we all work toward helping students reach their full potential. I hope you will find this report to be a rich source of information as you turn knowledge into action for the benefit of your students and community.

TIPS

The applied and academic mathematics courses are different and should be considered separately.

Note: Students in locally developed courses do not participate in these assessments.

�Each school or board is unique. To appreciate the distinctive character of a school or board, look at the contextual information to understand the features and characteristics of the community it serves.

�This assessment captures the performance of students at one point in time each year. Consider the results along with other information about students’ achievement in mathematics.

�Exercise caution when interpreting results for small schools or boards. Results may vary considerably from year to year, and differences may look exaggerated. For example, in a school of 30 students, a difference of 10% represents only three students.

�Trends may be difficult to identify or to interpret. This is especially true when groups are small or in schools where there is a high turnover in the student population.

�EQAO values students' privacy. Beginning in 2012-2013, results are not reported publicly for schools where fewer than 10 students participated because it might be possible to identify individual students. Prior to 2012-2013, results were not reported publicly for schools where fewer than 15 students participated.

ABOUT THIS SCHOOL OR BOARD REPORT

This report shows how well students have met curriculum expectations for either the applied or academic mathematics program to the end of Grade 9. Students complete two booklets that allow them to show what they know in mathematics. The assessment is based on The Ontario Curriculum: Mathematics, Grades 9 and 10.

This report includes

¨ results for this year;

¨ a comparison of results of the current and previous administrations to aid in monitoring improvement and

¨ information about the characteristics of the students who participated.

Specifically, you will find

¨ summary graphs showing the percentage of students achieving the provincial standard in either applied or academic mathematics;

¨ detailed tables and graphs showing results for all levels of achievement, participation information and results for gender

¨ student questionnaire results and

¨ an explanation of all terms used in this report.

HOW TO USE THIS REPORT

¨ Examine the contextual information to understand the similarities and differences between this school, the board and the province; the board and the province. Consider the challenges that any differences might present.

¨ Examine the results for applied and academic mathematics.

· Are these results consistent with what you would expect?

· How do the school results compare to the board and province; the board results compare to the province?

· How do these results compare over time?

· What influence might students’ attitudes have on student performance (refer to the questionnaire results)?

¨ Speak to the school or board staff about the goals for school improvement related to mathematics.

The Education Quality and Accountability Office is an independent agency that gathers information about student achievement through province-wide assessments. Each year, all Grade 9 students in applied and academic mathematics take part in this assessment across Ontario. Individual results are reported to students and to parents and guardians. School, board and provincial results are released publicly.
