Parents use the Report Card's indicator values, ratings, and rankings to compare schools when they choose an education provider for their children. When parents already have a child enrolled at a school they use the report cards as an annual audit of how that school is doing academically.
More Quotes from Peter Cowley:
I can see wrong-headed but well-intentioned people saying bad data will just reinforce stereotypes. But I think if you want to change the stereotype, you shine a big light on the truth and you deal with it, which seems the far more courageous way. You have to have the courage to say 'we're in big trouble' and on an annual basis back that up with objective information.Peter Cowley
It's important to remember we're comparing results of Aboriginal students without reference to the general population. Relative to other schools (and based on the report), Carson Graham is not successful in ensuring that its Aboriginal students do well. But I strongly believe the report card provides the greatest benefit to schools that are not successful.

Based on a thorough analysis of the five-year academic results at all 2,850 schools appearing in the Institute's Report Card on Ontario's Elementary Schools, we rated the schools on three categories of academic performance. The awards will be presented to the top school team in each category. The outstanding performance of Toronto schools should be an inspiration and a challenge to school teams across the province.
