“One thing that pops out –  the size of the gap between the girls and the guys has gone up in mathematics. In 61 per cent of the schools, the guys did better. In 37 per cent, the girls did better. So historically, everyone thought the guys did better in math. Regrettably, it seems to be coming back,” says Peter Cowley, the institute’s director of school performance studies who co-authored the report.

Overall, only one public school made the top 16 — the rest are independent.

West Vancouver’s École Cederdale was part of a 16-way tie for the top ranking.

Critics of the report card say it is too narrow in its focus and only looks at standardized tests. They argue it omits other factors, creating a distorted view of schools.
