Quebec’s Top Secondary Schools Revealed in 2025 Rankings
The 2025 edition of Quebec’s secondary school rankings has just been released, and it’s creating quite a buzz among students, parents, and educators alike. The rankings, compiled by the Fraser Institute and published by Le Journal, evaluate both public and private schools across the province, providing a clear snapshot of academic performance and overall school success.
In this year’s ranking, schools are evaluated using an overall score that ranges from 0 to 10. This score is based largely on student results from the June 2024 provincial exams for grades 10 and 11, with adjustments for factors such as gender gaps and the proportion of students falling behind academically. While the methodology may seem complex, the aim is straightforward: to give a reliable picture of which schools are delivering the strongest results.

Among public schools, Collège Saint-Louis in Montreal and the École internationale de Montréal in Westmount topped the list with perfect scores of 10 out of 10. Close behind, École d’éducation internationale in Laval and Lucille-Teasdale in Brossard scored 9.6, while several other schools from Montreal, Saint-Jérôme, and the Bas-Saint-Laurent region rounded out the top ten. On the private school side, a remarkable number of institutions achieved perfect scores as well. Jean-de-Brébeuf, Jean-Eudes, Saint-Alexandre, Saint-Nom-de-Marie, and Pasteur, all scored 10, highlighting the continued strength of private education in the province.
One of the most striking trends this year is the record number of schools showing significant improvement. According to Yanick Labrie, a researcher at the Fraser Institute, 58 schools have increased their overall scores compared to five years ago—the largest improvement seen since the rankings began in 2008. Schools like Barthélémy-Joliette in Lanaudière and des Lacs in the Outaouais region have demonstrated particularly impressive progress, even while serving a higher proportion of students facing academic challenges.
This year’s ranking also highlights the growing diversity of student needs in Quebec. Nearly one in three secondary students now has an individual education plan, up from 28% five years ago, reflecting an ongoing increase in students with learning or behavioral difficulties. This reality is recognized in a separate ranking that focuses on schools successfully supporting a higher proportion of students with special needs, showing that strong performance can be achieved across a wide range of circumstances.
The release of the 2025 rankings reminds us that educational excellence in Quebec is not confined to select private schools. Public schools that welcome all students, including those facing challenges, continue to shine and demonstrate that improvement and success are possible for any school willing to innovate and invest in student achievement.
These results and more detailed information will be available through an interactive online tool, allowing families and educators to explore rankings and methodology in depth. Clearly, the 2025 Palmarès des écoles paints an encouraging picture: Quebec’s secondary schools are thriving, evolving, and striving for excellence like never before.
