How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- Bands, not ranks. Fifths are worked out among every Alberta school with a PAT result, then averaged per school.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
- Boards and systems. English and French, public and Catholic: the board decides the system, and the address decides the school.
- The year. The 2025/26 list.
- The kinds of school. Middle and junior high schools count as secondary when they start at Grade 7 or later, elementary otherwise.
- Which schools count. Counted: Garrison Woods’s own schools and any within 3 km of its edge.
