How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside Hillhurst or within 3 km of it are here.
- The kinds of school. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
- The year. The 2025/26 list.
- Boards and systems. The board is the public body that runs a school; this province has English and French boards, each public or Catholic.
- 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. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
