EQAO results, 2024–2025

The percentage of students who met the provincial standard in each assessment this school reported, beside the same figure for the French-language system. These are results for one school year — not a score, a rank or a prediction.

How to read this

These are results for the Grade 9 mathematics assessment and the literacy test, which a student sits once. Both were reported for this school, for a single cohort in one year. With fewer than 300 students enrolled, year-to-year movement here reflects small cohorts as much as anything else. This site publishes no ranking or composite score, and a position above or below a median is not a measure of how good a school is: EQAO reports the share of students meeting a standard in one year, and that share tracks the circumstances of the families a school draws from as much as anything the school does.

Getting there

Hamilton is served by the HSR bus network, with the most frequent corridors running east–west across the lower city. Two GO stations sit in the city — Hamilton GO Centre downtown and West Harbour GO on the Lakeshore West line — and Aldershot GO just over the Burlington line is a common commuter station too. The escarpment limits north–south routes, so check the actual trip rather than the map distance.

Nearest GO station: West Harbour GO — about 2.3 km in a straight line
Local transit: HSR (Hamilton Street Railway)
Transit stops in Westdale: 35 HSR (Hamilton Street Railway) stops inside the boundary

The 2.3 km to West Harbour GO is a straight line from this school's Ministry-published coordinates — not a walking or driving time. Check the real trip at the times you travel.

Registering here

Renting near École secondaire Georges-P-Vanier does not assign a child to it: the attendance area belongs to CS Viamonde, it changes, and placement depends on programme, grade and capacity. This school teaches 9-12, so confirm the grade you need is offered at the address you are considering. Before- and after-school care is run separately from the school day — the licensed facilities listed above are the operators to contact directly.
