How Nova Scotia assesses schools

Nova Scotia Assessment Program, run by Nova Scotia Department of Education and Early Childhood Development.

Nova Scotia runs provincial assessments but publishes the results by board or province, never for individual schools. No school in Nova Scotia can be given an Academic Performance score, and that is a fact about the province's reporting rather than about any school in it.

Grades tested: 3, 4, 6, 8
Subjects: Reading, Writing, Mathematics

Not published by the province

Nova Scotia publishes provincial assessment results by regional centre and board only. All ten assessment datasets were checked; none reports at school level. Checked July 2026.

A school without a score is not a school with a low score. Scores are only ever compared within Nova Scotia and within the same stage — never between provinces, which use different tests.

Programmes

Programmes Nova Scotia lists for this school. Only programmes the province publishes a register for can appear here, so this is not a full list of everything the school offers — and an absent programme does not mean it is not taught.
