AIMS 8TH ANNUAL HIGH SCHOOL REPORT CARD (RC8)

Summary Report for Anglophone High Schools

Petitcodiac Regional School improves from a ‘B’ grade to a ‘B+’ to take the top spot in New Brunswick’s Anglophone sector. and Saint John High maintain ‘B+’ grades from last year to take second and third spot, respectively. Chipman Forest Avenue School and Caledonia Regional High School in Hillsborough both see grade improvements of two levels from a ‘C’ to a ‘B-’, while Minto Memorial High School also had a two grade level increase from a ‘D’ to a ‘C’ – all three schools improved largely due to improvements in post-secondary achievement grades.

Last year’s top school, Upper Miramichi Regional High School in Boisetown, saw its grade fall from an ‘A’ to a ‘B’ this year primarily due to a decline from an ‘A+’ in post-secondary achievement to a ‘B+’. Grand Manan Community School dipped from a ‘B-’ to a ‘C’ and Nackawic Senior High School fell from a ‘B’ to a ‘C’; both drops can be largely attributed to a fall in post-secondary achievement.

New Brunswick, for many years, has excluded both its universities and its District Education Councils (DECs) from its Right to Information rules. This has allowed the Université de to opt out of providing information on performance of first year students for several years. At the same time DECs are not obligated to collect or provide data on school performance, so teacher assigned grades have remained unavailable despite being the only measure of student achievement in New Brunswick high schools since provincial exams were dropped. On the bright side, New Brunswick will soon have a new law that covers universities and DECs.

There are schools that do not receive an overall grade because information is missing for the three year rolling average used for this report. In some cases, it is to protect the privacy of students. For instance, in the case of post-secondary achievement, if we can not collect the data from at least two post-secondary institutions with results for at least five students, then the data is not included and no grade is given.

• Grades are based on a three year rolling average. If a school does not have at least two years of data for a particular measure it will not receive a grade for that measure. RC8 is based on data from the school years 2005/06, 2006/07, and 2007/08.

• New Brunswick learning centres and private schools are not reported and no partial data is available for them.
