What this number does not show

  • The share is of students who wrote, not of all students. Not every expected student writes, and those who do not may differ from those who do, so participation is always shown beside the result.
One more limit
  • When participation differs by more than 5 points between the two years, the change is labelled Not comparable (the rule was 10 points until November 2026).

See the 17 things not measured yet

In plain words

Down 3.8 points in a year.

Of Grade 7 public-school students in districts 61, 62 and 63 who wrote the provincial numeracy assessment, the share on track or extending. Participation is always shown beside it. Grade 4 and reading results are listed below.

How we decide “Worse”

The change is 6.9% of the earlier value, at or above the 5% threshold.

A higher share means more of the students who wrote were on track or beyond. 50.9% of 2,235 writers in 2025/26 (69% of 3,236 expected students wrote), against 54.7% in 2024/25 (77% wrote). Participation differs by 8 points, more than 5, so the change is not compared.

Outcome measures read Better, Worse or About the same; published government targets read Ahead of, On or Behind target; value-judgement measures read Rising, Falling or Steady in a neutral colour. A change smaller than the agency's own margin of error, or otherwise smaller than 5% of the earlier value, is About the same (or Steady). No change is calculated across a marked break in a series. The rule.

All notes on this number

Why it matters. It shows how many students are meeting expectations in core skills. Results depend on who writes, so participation matters.

  • The share is of students who wrote, not of all students. Not every expected student writes, and those who do not may differ from those who do, so participation is always shown beside the result.
  • When participation differs by more than 5 points between the two years, the change is labelled Not comparable (the rule was 10 points until November 2026).
  • Calculated here from the Province’s counts: (NUMBER_ONTRACK + NUMBER_EXTENDING) ÷ NUMBER_WRITERS, summed over the three districts.
  • Where the Province masks a small count (“Msk”), a combined share is not calculated.

How we got it

This number is published by the agency as shown; it is not calculated here. The script reads it from the agency’s own file.

Grades 4 and 7, 2025/26

  • Grade 4 reading: 71.2% on track or extending (2025/26). 2,425 of 3,242 expected students wrote (75%). 2024/25: 66.6%, 79% wrote. B.C. public schools: 69.8%, 83% wrote.
  • Grade 4 numeracy: 65.4% on track or extending (2025/26). 2,402 of 3,242 expected students wrote (74%). 2024/25: 66.6%, 79% wrote; not comparable, participation differs by more than 5 points. B.C. public schools: 62.9%, 83% wrote.
  • Grade 7 reading: not calculated (2025/26). At least one district’s count is masked (“Msk”) in the Province’s file, so a combined share cannot be calculated.
  • Grade 7 numeracy: 50.9% on track or extending (2025/26). 2,235 of 3,236 expected students wrote (69%). 2024/25: 54.7%, 77% wrote; not comparable, participation differs by more than 5 points. B.C. public schools: 55.2%, 82% wrote.
