Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT) results

Donevan performed well on the 2008 OSSLT (Literacy Test), increasing overall results by 6% while the Board dropped 1% from the previous year. Overall, with Donevan's greater number of Applied and Essential-stream students, the whole school results show 78% of students successful (School Board average, 84%).

Results for Applied-stream students increased by 9% while those for Academic-stream students improved by 6% over the previous year.

Comparatively, Donevan outperformed the Board in the three major streams: Academic 96% (Board 95%), Applied 67% (Board 62%), Essential 35% (Board 28%). With the weighting of Donevan's greater number of Applied and Essential-stream students affecting the average, overall results are quite promising.

History

Donevan first opened in 1958 and had an addition added on in 1970 which gave it a bigger cafeteria, a bigger library, and more classrooms. On May 17, 2010, the school board review committee voted to close the school at the end of the 2009–2010 school year.
