Writing Assignment 4

You are moving to Kitchener-Waterloo, and are considering where to live.  Since you have two young children (aged 5 and 7), one thing you want to consider is the quality of the local schools.  You don’t know anyone in the local area, so are restricted to using information available on the internet in your analysis.  This includes:
a)    The EQAO website:  http://www.eqao.com/results/?Lang=E
b)    The CD Howe Institute / David Johnson:  http://www.cdhowe.org/ontario_best_public_schools_2009-2011/17939
c)    The Fraser Institute:  http://www.fraserinstitute.org/uploadedFiles/fraser-ca/Content/research-news/research/publications/ontario-elementary-school-rankings-2014.pdf
Write up a brief report explaining which school you would choose for your kids.  You should include a table comparing various indicators for each school and an explanation of why you think the indicators you chose to focus on are good indicators of school performance (that is, you should consider the methodology used to compile various indicators).
Feel free to restrict your school search to one of Kitchener or Waterloo.
