Markham Economist & Sun

Seven Markham schools were recognized as being among the best elementary schools in the province at the annual Awards for Excellence in Education Thursday.
École élementaire catholique Sainte-Marguerite-Bourgeoys was second runner-up in the category Excellence in Language Arts and received a $1,000 prize.
Other Markham schools named Schools of Distinction in this category were St. Justin Martyr Catholic Elementary School, William Berczy Public School, Roy H. Crosby Public School, Bayview Glen Public School and Stonebridge Public School.
Coledale, Bayview Glen, Roy H. Crosby, St. Justin Martyr and William Berczy also received recognition in the category of Excellence in Mathematics.
The awards, presented by the Fraser Institute since 2005, are based on an analysis of student results data from the Education Quality and Accountability Office assessment.
Out of 2,733 elementary schools whose test results were analyzed, only the top 30 performers in each category were invited to participate in the awards.
Honourees include school teams from public, private and Catholic schools, urban and rural schools, and schools serving families with moderate incomes as well as those serving more affluent families.
