Grade 4 and 7 literacy rates rose by 12.6% and 10.5%, with the board crediting years of changes in teaching and assessment practices.
- Cowichan Valley School District reported significant literacy improvements last year, with Grade 4 rates increasing by 12.6 per cent and Grade 7 rates rising by 10.5 per cent.

- Acting Superintendent Darlene Reynolds praised the commitment of district staff, stating educators showed an "incredible commitment" to reflect, learn, and improve teaching practices.
- Board Chair Cathy Schmidt said, "Literacy is the foundation to a strong education," noting that rising rates mean more students can read to parents or understand class materials.
