Rising Success for Six Nations Students
So, there’s been some really encouraging news coming out of the Grand Erie District School Board, and it’s all about the growing success of high school students from Six Nations. A new report for the 2024–2025 school year was presented to the Six Nations Elected Council, and the numbers paint a noticeably brighter picture compared to last year.
According to the Education Service Agreement, which outlines how Grand Erie works with the Six Nations community on student outcomes, credit accumulation has gone up across every grade from 9 through 12. And if you’ve ever followed graduation rates or student progress, you know that credit accumulation is one of the clearest indicators of whether students are on track to finish high school.

For Grade 9 students, the shift has been especially striking. Last year, only about a third of Grade 9 students had enough credits at this point in the year. Now, that number has jumped from 33 percent to 59 percent—almost doubling. Grade 10 students also saw improvement, moving from 41 percent to 52 percent, which means more than half the class is earning credits at the expected pace.
But the biggest leap happened in Grade 11. Their credit accumulation rose from 41 percent all the way to 66 percent. That’s a huge gain and shows that students are gaining momentum as they move through high school. Grade 12 students, who are right on the edge of graduation, also saw a small but meaningful increase, from 59 percent to 60 percent. Even a one-percent rise at that level can translate into several more students being ready to graduate on time.
During the presentation, Grand Erie representatives didn’t just highlight credits—they also covered enrollment numbers, attendance patterns, and the growing interest in Indigenous language classes. These elements give a more complete picture of how students are doing, not just on paper but in terms of participation and connection to their cultural learning.
Overall, the tone of the report was optimistic. The progress suggests that support systems, community partnerships, and student engagement efforts are having a real impact. And for families and community leaders in Six Nations, seeing students move forward and gain confidence in their academic paths is incredibly meaningful. This year’s data shows that momentum is building, and if it continues, even more students will be walking across graduation stages in the years ahead.
