At applied level 64 percent achieved the provincial standard, a 20 percent improvement over 2012.
That's well above marks posted for the Keewatin-Patricia District School Board, were 33 percent of the applied students achieved the provincial standard, and 77 percent for academic students.
In the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test, 86 percent of students at Thomas Aquinas successfully completed it, while the mark was 64 percent at the public school board.
