How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. The area is Citadel plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
- The kinds of school. Kindergarten to Grade 8 is elementary, Grade 9 to 12 secondary, though the split varies by province and board.
- The year. The 2025/26 list.
- Boards and systems. Boards are set by language and, in Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan, by faith: public or Catholic.
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- Bands, not ranks. Fifths are worked out among every Alberta school with a PAT result, then averaged per school.
