The mean score for Canada is a weighted average based on results for the provinces. “Below the mean score for Canada, English” and "above the mean score for Canada, English" refer to statistically significant differences between the results for the jurisdictions and the results at the Canada level.

Notes: The Pan-Canadian Assessment Program (PCAP) is a cyclical program of assessments that measures the achievement of Grade 8 students in Canada. It is conducted by the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada (CMEC). PCAP provides a detailed look at each of three core learning areas, or domains, in the years when the domain is a major focus of the assessment (reading in 2007, mathematics in 2010, and science in 2013), along with a minor focus on the other two domains. PCAP, which was first conducted in 2007, has replaced CMEC's School Achievement Indicators Program (SAIP).
The results for students in the French school system were reported as French language, and the results for students in the English school system were reported as English language. The overall results for a jurisdiction represent those for students in both systems. Results for French immersion students who wrote in French were calculated as part of the English results since these students are considered part of the English-language cohort.
Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut did not participate in PCAP 2013.
For a brief description of this indicator, including the methodology, please see the Handbook for the Pan-Canadian Education Indicators Program.
