Independent schools

What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Every school inside Macewan Glen’s outline or within 3 km of it, the rule used across the site.
- The kinds of school. Middle and junior high schools count as secondary when they start at Grade 7 or later, elementary otherwise.
- The year. As the province lists them in 2025/26.
- 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. Top fifth means a result among the best fifth of Alberta’s schools; the card shows a school’s average fifth.
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
