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.

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.

Neighbourhood

No mapped neighbourhood for this address

The Ministry gives this school's address in Binbrook. Binbrook has no neighbourhood page here because no municipal boundary is published for it under an open licence — it is listed among the excluded names on the data page.

Rather than attach the nearest mapped area — the closest is kilometres away and the municipality draws no boundary between them — this page leaves the relationship out. Which names have no published boundary, and why, is set out on the data page.

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.

Registering here

Renting near St. Matthew Catholic Elementary School does not assign a child to it: the attendance area belongs to Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board, it changes, and placement depends on programme, grade and capacity. This school teaches JK-8, 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.
