Note 3

It should be noted that comparisons of high school graduation rates between provinces and territories requires a nuanced interpretation as academic pathways, pass marks, subject requirements and the groups of students under consideration may differ from one province or territory to another.

Note 4

The true-cohort methodology uses two cohorts of students that begin in Grade 10 ("Secondary 3" in Quebec) to calculate the high school graduation rate (see the "Definitions, sources and methodology" section in Indicator A2 for more details).
