How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. The area is Lower Mount Royal plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
- The kinds of school. Schools are grouped by what they teach: elementary, secondary, every grade, and the alternative, adult and online programs.
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
- Bands, not ranks. Fifths are worked out among every Alberta school with a PAT result, then averaged per school.
- The year. The provincial list for 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. English and French, public and Catholic: the board decides the system, and the address decides the school.
