What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside Canyon Meadows or within 3 km of it are here.
- The kinds of school. Middle and junior high schools count as secondary when they start at Grade 7 or later, elementary otherwise.
- The year. The province’s school list, 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. Every public school has a board: English or French, and in this province public or Catholic too. Independent schools have none.
- What isn’t here. No province rates its schools by inspection, and enrolment covers one year (Ontario and Alberta only), so there is no trend.
- Bands, not ranks. Alberta publishes the share at each PAT standard and suppresses small groups, so the page gives fifths, not ranks.
