How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. Each board covers a territory in one language and one system, public or Catholic; boards of different systems overlap.
- The year. The 2025/26 list.
- Bands, not ranks. Fifths are worked out among every Alberta school with a PAT result, then averaged per school.
- What isn’t here. What no open list gives: inspection grades, several years of enrolment, and Ontario’s private schools.
- The kinds of school. Kindergarten to Grade 8 is elementary, Grade 9 to 12 secondary, though the split varies by province and board.
- Which schools count. Schools inside Falconridge and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
