How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Elementary means kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary up to Grade 12 (Secondary V in Quebec); a few schools take every grade.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Discovery Ridge and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- 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. As the province lists them in 2025/26.
