The public school board has released its EQAO results from last spring’s standardized tests, and the kids and the board have some work to do.
Officials with the Lambton-Kent District School Board say that while the 2018-19 results are on par with the year before, students continue to fall behind the provincial average in reading, writing and math skills.
For example, grade 3 students earned a 69% in reading, 63% in writing, and 52% in math, compared to provincial scores of 74, 69, and 58 respectively.
Grade six students struggled the most in math, scoring 35%, compared to 48 provincially.
Officials say they will use the results to help raise the bar and meet the needs of its students.
