Much like the US - Canadian high schools have a lot of regional variation in their quality. I've heard that kids from my town, when moving to the next town over, place 2 entire grades higher in capability/knowledge.
Ontario schools are renowned as some of the worst in the country. They're the only province that decided that students needed two years to do grade 12 with "grade 13"!
That's no longer the case and when it was still the case, there was not a grade 13. Instead, students could complete college/university level courses at their high schools and at high school prices. These would generally transfer and people of an earlier generation could often graduate with a four year degree in only 3 years.
Of course, I was the second year to not have OAC courses available to me and had to pay for four years of university at university prices.
