Encouraging high levels of achievement is the purpose of assessment and evaluation. is the Ministry of Education policy document that outlines the requirements for all school boards in assessment, evaluation and reporting for grades 1-12. High schools across Ontario send home report cards in the same format that give clear information about how a student is doing.
All high school students receive a provincial report card that lists courses, percentage marks for each course, credit earned, learning skills and work habits, comments, missed classes and times late. The course median information is also included. This is the percentage mark at which 50 percent of students in the course (all sections offered at the school during that time frame) have a higher percentage mark and 50 percent students have a lower percentage mark.
