How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- What isn’t here. What no open list gives: inspection grades, several years of enrolment, and Ontario’s private schools.
- Bands, not ranks. Bands compare within Alberta only: never a place in a league table.
- Boards and systems. English and French, public and Catholic: the board decides the system, and the address decides the school.
- The year. The provincial list for 2025/26.
- The kinds of school. Grades shown are the published range, from junior kindergarten (JK) upward.
- Which schools count. Every school inside Charleswood’s outline or within 3 km of it, the rule used across the site.
