Mississauga’s Best Elementary & Secondary Schools

Posted by Amit Bhandari in Buying, Schools

One of the most important factors when deciding to buy real estate for many families is the quality of the school that their children will be attending. In Mississauga, the Peel District School Board sets very strict guidelines on which school your child will attend based on the street that you live on, and because of this reason there are various neighbourhoods that are highly sought after based on the quality of the schools. Unfortunately, there is not a great deal of information available to the general public that says which schools are good, and perhaps more importantly which schools are bad.

A couple of great resources when determining the quality of the school are the Fraser Institute, a group that looks at various factors and comes up with a "Score" out of 10 to rate each school. A score of 7.5 or above is considered Very Good. On top of that, we can also look at the EQAO results that show how the schools grade in two key classes; English and Math. Using these two factors, we can put together a list of the schools which we consider to be Mississauga's Top 10 Schools (Both Elementary & Secondary).
