How to read this

EQAO assessed 6 measures at this school — reading, writing and mathematics, sat in Grades 3 and 6. Each is one 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: Hamilton GO Centre — about 3 km in a straight line
Local transit: HSR (Hamilton Street Railway)
Transit stops in Blakeley: 17 HSR (Hamilton Street Railway) stops inside the boundary

The 3 km to Hamilton GO Centre 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.
