Description
Ontario public school data includes board and school information, student enrolment totals, and standardized test results for grades 3, 6, and 9 in reading, writing, and mathematics. The dataset excludes private schools and specialized education programs. Student privacy is protected through random rounding of percentages and suppression of data for groups smaller than 10 individuals.
Use Cases
Analyze grade 3 and 6 EQAO student achievements for reading, writing, and mathematics across different school boards.
Compare grade 9 mathematics EQAO and OSSLT results using school enrolment totals as a contextual factor.
Investigate patterns in school board information relative to reported student achievement percentages.
Assess the impact of privacy suppression methodologies on reported achievement percentages for small schools.
Strengths
