What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. The provincial list for 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. A school’s system is its board’s: the language it teaches in, and whether the board is public or Catholic.
- What isn’t here. No province rates its schools by inspection, and enrolment covers one year (Ontario and Alberta only), so there is no trend.
- Bands, not ranks. Each result is placed in a fifth of Alberta’s schools on the same measure; a school’s band averages its fifths. Alberta suppresses small groups, so no school is ranked to the place.
- Which schools count. The area is Livingston plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
- The kinds of school. The levels follow each school’s published grades: elementary below Grade 7 or 9, secondary above, all-grade when it runs the whole way.
