province
By Fred Sherwin

For
the fifth year in a row, Colonel By Secondary School has
finished near the head of the class in a list of the top
high schools in Ontario..
The
Fraser Institute released its Report Card on Ontario's
Secondary Schools on Sunday and Colonel By was ranked
third among the 725 high schools included on the list,
moving up three spots from their 6th place ranking of
a year ago.
The
Report looks at the school's 2012 EQAO results and then
weighs them based on a number of socio-economic factors
including gender, percentage of ESL students and average
family income.
Colonel
By has been at or near the head of the class in Ontario
for the past five years. The school was ranked 6th in
2011, 5th in 2010, 14th in 2009 and 6th in 2008.
The
east end is also home to one of the most improved high
schools in Ontario with Sir Wilfrid Laurier Secondary
School moving up 243 spots in the last five years from
their 407th ranking in 2008.
Two
area French language high schools were ranked high on
the list. Ecole publique secondaire Gisele-Lalonde moved
up from 58th place a year ago to 47th with an 8.2 rating
out of 10, and Ecole secondaire catholique Garneau took
over Gisele-Lalonde's place in 58th place with an 8.1
rating.
Two
other east end high schools that improved their ranking
were Lester B. Pearson High School which climbed more
than 200 spots from 644 to 442 and Ecole secondaire publique
Louis-Riel which moved up 60 spots from 253 to 193.
St.
Matthew High School and Gloucester High School also improved
their rankings from a year ago. St. Matthew moved up to
214th place from 268, and Gloucester improved to 396th
place from 422.
Unfortunately,
the remainder of the high schools in the east end trended
in the opposite direction. St. Peter High School dropped
from 74 in 2011 to 178 in 2012; Cairine Wilson dipped
from 268 to 313; and Béatrice-Desloges plunhed
from 432 to 522, making it the lowest ranked school in
the east end.
The
scores for the 11 east end high schools are listed in
the colour coded chart below. The full report card can
