Graduation Assessments

British Columbia's open_canada platform provides results from provincial Graduation Assessments for Numeracy 10 and Literacy 10/12. The data includes counts of student scores across performance levels for first-time test-takers in the correct grade, starting from the 2017/2018 school year. It is published by the Government of British Columbia under the OGL-CA-2.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in student numeracy proficiency over time based on performance level counts.
• Compare literacy assessment outcomes between Grade 10 and Grade 12 cohorts.
• Model provincial graduation requirement pass rates based on assessment results.
• Investigate the impact of rewrite opportunities on overall performance levels.

Strengths

• Data begins with a specific school year (2017/2018), providing a clear temporal starting point.
• Focuses on first-time test-takers in the correct grade, which suggests a standardized comparison group.
• Published by a provincial government authority (Government of British Columbia).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analysis.
• Data may reflect geographic and institutional bias inherent to a single Canadian province.
