    Ranking the schools Important notes to the rankings In this table, schools are ranked (on the left -hand side of the page) in descending order (from 1 to 752) accord- ing to their academic performance as measured by the Overall rating out of 10 (shown on the right-hand side of the table) for the school year 2000/2001. Each school’s Þ ve-year average ranking and Overall rating out of 10 are also listed. The higher the overall rating (out of 10), the higher the rank awarded to the school. Where schools tied in the overall rating, they were awarded the same rank. Where less than Þ ve years of data was available “n/a” appears in the table. Not all the province’s elementary schools are included in the tables or the ranking. Excluded are schools at which fewer than 15 students were enrolled in grade 3 and grade 6 and schools that did not generate a suf- Þ ciently large set of student data to enable the calculation of an Overall rating out of 10. The exclusion of a school from the Report Card should in no way be construed as a judgement on the school’s eff ectiveness.
