This year. OCS ranked in the top 14% nation-wide, up from last year's ranking of U nder the tutelage of loving 17%. Twenty-three students ranked in the top 1% with another 10 students ranked in the top 2%. O verall, O CS' students grade equiv alent averaged two gradelevels above the grades they are currently in. O ver the past five years, OCS graduates have ranked in the top 20% in Canada. 25% to 25% above the national norm. These results come from a student body of 275, and from a school that does not require high entrance marks for admit tance. H ow ever.
