Steady and consistent increases in achievement levels are an indication that a number of initiatives to support students across the school are working and high achievement levels are not the result of a specific cohort or class. These improvements give us a better understanding of what we are doing to address learning and achievement and helps identify where we need to place additional supports for our students.

While we continue to see steady improvements year over year, we remain committed to addressing the achievement gap for students who are working towards achieving the provincial standard and beyond. By working together with staff, parents and community we can be sure that our students will be prepared for the future as they transition from Mackenzie to future learning choices, careers and life.
