Ratings and data
Academic information
Mary Jane Shannon Elementary has a Fraser Institute rating of 4.3/10, ranking 871 out of 1015 schools in British Columbia. This score indicates that the school performs below the provincial average in standardized academic testing. However, this metric does not capture the school's holistic approach to education. The school serves a diverse community with a high ESL population (approximately 43.5%) and focuses heavily on foundational support. Rather than strictly emphasizing test scores, the administration prioritizes social-emotional learning, language acquisition, and ensuring students' basic nutritional and attendance needs are met to properly prepare them for classroom learning.
