What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. As the province lists them in 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. English and French, public and Catholic: the board decides the system, and the address decides the school.
- Bands, not ranks. Alberta publishes the share at each PAT standard and suppresses small groups, so the page gives fifths, not ranks.
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- Which schools count. Schools inside Hidden Valley and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
- The kinds of school. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
