About
This indicator is the percentage of students in grades 4 and 5 who reported that they are a girl.
Source
New Brunswick Health Council, Student Wellness and Education Survey, Grades 4-5
Calculations
This indicator is calculated by dividing the number of respondents who answered "girl" by the number of respondents who answered "boy, girl or in another way" to the question: Which of the following best describes you?
Notes
Due to a low school participation rate in some areas of the province for the 2025-2026 edition of this survey, survey results are not available for District scolaire francophone Nord-Ouest (school district), Madawaska and North-West Area (health zone), Kedgwick, Saint-Quentin and Grimmer (community), Grand Falls, Saint-Léonard, Drummond Area (community), and Edmundston, Rivière-Verte, Lac Baker Area (community).
The 2019-2020 edition of this survey was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the number of schools that participated in 2019-2020 is much lower than other editions of the survey, results at the provincial level were deemed not representative of the total student population. Therefore, survey results for New Brunswick, health zones and demographic groups are not available for the 2019-2020 edition. However, 2019-2020 results are available for communities in which the number of participating schools was deemed sufficient to be representative of the student population in that community.
