They removed the streaming from Ontario highschools a few years ago. I'm of two minds about streaming. I think like any other educational idea it works for some and not for others. It did mean that by choosing general science in grade ten I could avoid dissecting creatures without having to raise a public fuss about it, I ended up as the only girl in the class that year, alas not at a stage, personally, where I could have taken advantage of it. I do not like the implications though of "better" and "worse" that streaming encourages. A result of these unfortunate connotations was that people ended up taking the advanced levels when they weren't ready for them, missed out on learning in the other levels which they could have used and ended up frustrated, which helps nobody. In only a couple of years the first batch of Ontario students without grade 13 will be hitting the universities and colleges. Battle plans to deal with the double enrollment are already being drawn up.
