Planning and Measurement for School Improvement

The policy outlines the OCDSB Policy and Procedures for Student Evaluation, which may be found on the Board's website2. WHS has witnessed a boost in all key academic metrics over the previous five years, and the faculty is devoted to further development. Ontario Scholars were awarded to 40% of the alumni.

For keeping a grade point average of more than 90%, 8% of Woodroffe High School graduates received the Silver Standard. Approximately 75% of our alumni continue their education beyond high school. Scholarships totalling more than $230,000 were awarded to the 2012 graduates. In November, Woodroffe High School honoured over 175 kids during our Junior Achievement Evening. Cooperative learning, peer leadership, and student-organized getaways and seminars, such as the yearly neighbourhood dancing conference, are all part of the WHS student leadership development program.
