UNDERSTAND THE COMPARISON
How the GTA school lists are selected
These lists compare the 2025 Fraser Institute Ontario reports, which measure 2023/2024 academic results. Elementary and secondary results remain separate and explicitly dated. They are not current-year test scores or measures of every aspect of school quality.
The Fraser Institute score measures selected academic indicators. It is one starting point for research, not a complete assessment of teaching, student support, wellbeing or school fit.
Coverage. The full census covers 1,434 rated public and Catholic records in Toronto, Durham, York, Peel and Halton, including French-language schools. All 3,799 Ontario app-record coordinates were checked against official provincial municipal polygons; 1,451 records fell inside the GTA, and 17 private records were excluded. Only schools with published report scores are eligible. Administrative or virtual school addresses can appear in the report census.
Ties. Equal scores share competition rank: one plus the number of schools scoring higher. Each list links ten canonical regional profiles. Ties are ordered alphabetically by current common school name, ignoring the French École prefix; every equally scored school outside the tenth-place cutoff is disclosed and linked. A tied school outside the displayed ten is not ranked lower.
