Foundation Skills Assessments guide school choice and audits
Peter Cowley notes the Foundation Skills Assessments inform Grade 4 and Grade 7 curricula. The annual report card compiles indicators to analyze and compare school performance, aiding parents in selecting schools and tracking academic progress over years. It shows that among the top 25 fastest improving schools, 12 are in the Lower Mainland and 15 are public, with schools across Fraser Valley Interior and Vancouver Island. The Fraser Institute rankings are one measure, with local officials stressing it is only one piece of information amid many considerations.
