According to the Fraser Institute, the best-performing elementary school in our region is St. Joseph’s in Nelson.
The think-tank has released its annual rankings of schools in BC based on provincial test results.
But it’s often criticized by educators and administrators who feel it’s not an accurate reflection.
St. Joe’s, which is a Catholic school, came in 52nd out of 956 in the province.
Other local schools included Redfish at 153rd, Nelson Waldorf at 274th and Hume at 344th.
