Durham Region Elementary School Rankings

Updated January 2019

Ontario elementary school rankings for the school year ending in 2018 have been released from the Fraser Institute - non-partisan, independent research and educational organization, based in Canada.  Rankings are for academic performance based upon standardized testing that is universally administered across the province.

Most of Durham is administered by either the Durham District School Board or the Durham Catholic District School Board.

Clarington schools are administered by either the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board or the Peterborough Victoria Northumberland Catholic District School Board.
