The Fraser Institute has released its 2015 Report Card on British Columbia’s top elementary schools, and 16 are tied for number one.

The rankings are based on 10 academic indicators using data from the B.C. Ministry of Education’s Foundation Skills Assessments (FSAs), and judges each of the province’s 978 elementary schools. The FSAs are administered by the ministry each year in grades four and seven.
