Elementary EQAO Assessment Results
Grade 3 and 6 Reading, Writing and Mathematics
The Grades 3 and 6 reading, writing and mathematics assessments conducted annually by EQAO measure student achievement of the provincial curriculum expectations in reading, writing and mathematics. The assessments test what students know and how well they apply their knowledge and skills in everyday situations by requiring students to read and respond to passages, to write, and to solve mathematical problems.
Student work was evaluated according to the expectations in The Ontario Curriculum, Grades 1-8 using a four-level assessment scale that reflects the four achievement levels in The Ontario Curriculum, Grades 1-8. These four levels are as follows:
• Level 4 identifies achievement within the provincial curriculum that exceeds the provincial standard.
• Level 3 (the provincial standard) identifies a high level of achievement of the provincial expectations.
• Level 2 identifies achievement that is approaching the standard.
• Level 1 identifies achievement that falls below the provincial standard.
