The Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) annually assesses the reading, writing and math skills of Ontario's Grade 6 students. EQAO is an arm's-length agency of the provincial government and provides parents, teachers and the public with accurate and reliable information about student achievement.
In 2022-23, 84 per cent of English-language students and 97 per cent of French-language students met or exceeded the provincial standard (Level 3 on the scale of 1 to 4, or grade level B) on the EQAO Grade 6 reading assessment.
Ontario's target is for 75 per cent of Grade 6 students to be meeting or exceeding the provincial standard in reading, writing and mathematics.
This chart is a snapshot of Grade 6 reading EQAO results by board.
