2012 Greater Victoria Elementary School Ranking Report card

 

2012 Greater Victoria Elementary  Schools Ranking Report Card

2012 Report Cards Ranking all BC and Yukon  (including  Greater Victoria)  Elementary Schools was released this past week.....
Recently the Fraser Institute, an independent non-profit research and educational organization in Canada, completed its annual Elementary highly anticipated research projects about the comparative quality of all Elementary  schools in British Columbia.

In the USA, this information is very readily available from independent as well as commercial sources, however in Canada the only source we have to rely on amazingly resourceful, and independent The Fraser Institute, to provide the general public with this very valuable information.

The Fraser Institute on their website provides access to the entire report that includes all regions of British Columbia, as well as the other Provinces.

For the Benefit of our Readers that are either living in the Greater Victoria Area, or that are hoping to relocate to the Greater Victoria Area, we have included the links to the 2 relevant reports for both the Elementary Schools as well as the Secondary Schools in Greater Victoria.

These annual  Elementary School Ranking Reports  are without question an eye-opener to review  and compare the various schools and educational options that may be available to you in the Greater Victoria Area.

We would not want to draw conclusions from the reports, however it would appear that exploring Independent schooling would be the way to go if at all an option for you.

We all want to offer our children the very best education available and would like to think that great education in available close to home and "should" be the same for all children at every school, however there appears to be some significant differences between the various schools within each region. From public, French immersion to private schooling the options are there for parents and children to consider.

The cost and affordability considerations are important and as such additional research by each Greater Victoria Schools Report Cardsfamily may very well be required, but in overhearing an interview earlier this week, researchers from Fraser Institute indicated that many of the private or Independent schools are very reasonably priced, and are possibly within your budget...

Our gratitude and appreciation are extended to the Fraser Institute for publishing these excellent reports and their Elementary and Secondary School Report Cards.

Peter and Linda Pfann, hope that you will find this information useful and beneficial to your own family or the family of a friend or loved ones....

What a wonderful localism post! As a parent, I know nothing is more important when purchasing a home than to consider what school the area is zoned for. When my kids were in school THAT was the # 1 criteria when we moved to this county!

This is great information for local buyers, with or without children, as good schooling affects home values.

I'm sure your clients will benefit from knowing about the schools in your area. It can be a deciding factor for young families looking for a new home.

Great links for parents Peter and Linda. If report cards are available guess it is time to see what the kids have been doing in time to fix anything before the end of the year.

Hi Barbara-Jo

it is so true that picking the right school can very much have a huge impact on the results and experiences the child will have

Hi Karen,

the interactive tool that the fraser institute is offering is very easy and effective and works all over the province...

Hi Chris,

absolutely, as well as the demand and the type of homes being offered by builders etc

Hi Dorie,

exactly, although we have many buyers that do not have children, it still has an impact on demand and prices.

This is very important information that buyers with school age children should be looking at. Investing in the right home is very important, but not as important as investing in your children's future. Great post with local content Peter and Linda.

HI Malcolm,

As we know in Canada, it is a bit harder to find independent school reviews, and the Fraser Institute offer this quality information for a number of provinces, including BC and Ont.
