PRINCE GEORGE- A new report from the Fraser Institute ranks the top schools across the province. The top four elementary schools in the city are private, with Westside Academy ranking the highest at 84th out of 946. The highest ranked high school in Prince George is Cedars Christian at 86 out of 293. The rankings are determined by FSA results for elementary schools, and provincial exam results and graduation rates for high schools.

A number of schools in SD57 are near the bottom of the rankings, but superintendent Marilyn Marquis-Forster says those rankings should be taken with a grain of salt as they are only based on one aspect of what schools have to offer.  She adds if parents are concerned about the success of their children, the best thing to do is contact school staff.
