2304...Remedial Media

From the MYFM website. MYFM btw is a cluster of stations in Renfrew County, Ontario. This is cut and pasted directly from their news page.

According to the annual study released by the Frasier institute Jeanne Lajoie is the top ranked highschool in Renfrew County. The report ranks 722 English and French, public, and Catholic secondary schools from across the province on eight indicators from provincewide tests of literacy and mathematics skills administered by the Education Quality and Accountability Office. Overall county high schools maintained the middle ground with scores ranging from Jean Lajoie's 7.6 out of 10 -good enough for the 105th spot province wide- to 5 out of 10 for Bishop Smith Catholic High school the lowest ranking in the county at 555th of 722. Both school boards have distanced themselves from the study saying it doesn't really help student performance to compare schools using only a narrow set of data.


Note to MYFM: "Frasier" is spelt "Fraser". Like the river; like the valley.

Perhaps the genius that wrote this went to the 722nd best high school in Ontario.
