– Edmonton Superintendent
Edmonton Public Schools found itself with an interesting challenge in the fall of 2000. While some schools in the district performed well, as a group its test scores had generally stagnated and its high school completion rates lagged behind the rest of the province.

The following charts represent the growth seen by schools in this district:
