EQAO results, 2024–2025

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

Beside comparable schools

The province mixes every board, setting and language system together. These medians cover schools sitting the same assessment in the same year, at the same level, in the same language system, so they compare like with like. The number of schools in each cohort is in brackets.

Assessment	This school	Hamilton-Wentworth DSB median	Hamilton median
Grade 3 Reading	83%	68% (75)	74% (124)
Grade 3 Writing	71%	62% (75)	64.5% (124)
Grade 3 Mathematics	60%	55% (75)	62% (124)
Grade 6 Reading	86%	80.5% (66)	85% (115)
Grade 6 Writing	88%	80.5% (66)	85% (115)
Grade 6 Mathematics	45%	39% (66)	45% (115)

Each figure is a median, not an average, and each cohort counts only the schools that published a result for that exact assessment in 2024–2025. Cohorts of fewer than 10 schools are not shown, because a median over a handful of schools moves too much to mean anything.

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. Results are suppressed wherever a cohort is too small to report. 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 5 km in a straight line
Local transit: HSR (Hamilton Street Railway)
Transit stops in Huntington: 25 HSR (Hamilton Street Railway) stops inside the boundary

The 5 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.
