The Fraser Institute is a leading source for school rankings in Canada. They are an independent international research and educational organization, headquartered in Vancouver, B.C.
They use a specific set of measurements to gauge elementary, middle, and high school academic performance for Mississauga, and many other parts of Canada.
The Fraser Institute compilation of Ontario School rankings provides specific data on how students in various schools rate against each other, using defined and specific methodologies.
Their “Report Card” was updated for elementary schools and high schools in January, 2025.
The Fraser Institute Report Card ranks all participating schools in Ontario based on results derived from standardized tests in the Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO).
Test results are ranked within a range up to a perfect score of 10, and these results are then compared to previous years’ scores as well as previous years’ rankings.
Schools are then given a numeric rank based upon their students’ test scores.
Many educators are quick to point out that an academic test such as that used by the Fraser Institute is only one measure of school performance.
Peter Cowley, co-author of the report, has acknowledged that these test scores are only one method of measurement in trying to determine any school’s effectiveness.
“This report card says nothing about fine arts, athletics, french immersion, or how schools develop leadership and citizenship among their students. This will tell parents how students are doing in areas of basic skills in which the province tests them.”
The Mississauga school rankings also allow parents to monitor any significant trends for increases or decreases in the test scores, Cowley said.
Despite caution from many observers that the Report is only a single measure of any school’s effectiveness, one can nevertheless gain some insight as to the academic credentials of Mississauga’s schools, and how they measure up against each other.

Mississauga High School Rankings
** Updated Jan, 2025 **
We initially published Mississauga high school rankings based on the 2018-2019 test results. Results for 2021-2022 were released in May, 2024, but were unfortunately missing data from some school districts.
The latest results were released January, 2025. They reflect scores from the 2022-2023 school year, and appear to be complete, with all school districts in Ontario reporting in.
Provincial rankings are a scorecard from a list of participating schools in Ontario. The total number of participating high schools in 2022-2023 is 746.
First column on the left is the rank of each school compared to those public, catholic, and private secondary schools in the Province of Ontario who chose to participate in the survey.
From this chart, you can see that John Fraser Secondary School at 2665 Erin Centre Boulevard was the highest rated public secondary school in Mississauga during 2022/2023.
It has long been recognized as the top high school in Mississauga, coming in at 20th place out of all secondary schools in the entire province.
John Fraser SS was passed in ranking by the Al-Manarat Islamic High School during the 2022-2023 ranking calculation.
Al-Manarat is a private school catering to the Muslim community in Mississauga, and it is located at 2550 Argentia Rd, #121.
The Al-Manarat high school has managed to unseat the longtime champion John Fraser, and we offer congratulations to the staff and students there.
Private Islamic schools have scored highly in recent years, with strong numbers also coming from ISNA High School, Al-Risala Academy, and Olive Grove High School.

Mississauga Elementary School Rankings
** Updated Jan, 2025 **
The Fraser Institute’s most recent findings on Mississauga elementary school rankings and middle school ratings were released on January 7, 2025, and are based on 2022/2023 grade 3 and grade 6 EQAO results.
When test results between schools ended in a rating tie, school rank is shown as an equal rank (left column).
Some schools are not listed due to not offering both grades 3 & 6. Certain public and private school rankings are not available due to lack of participation in the EQAO tests. The exclusion of a school should in no way be construed as a judgement of the school’s effectiveness.
The following list is a summary of available Mississauga elementary school rankings, including public, separate (catholic), and independent (private) schools.
There are 3 top elementary schools in Mississauga that have a perfect score of 10 in academics: the Al-Manarat Heights Islamic School, St. Edmund Separate School, and the Khalsa School Malton.
These three schools also score among the top schools in the Greater Toronto area, and indeed, in all of Ontario. There are 3,021 public, separate, and independent elementary schools in Ontario that participated in EQAO testing, and they are subsequently included in the Fraser Institute review.
