What this data can and can’t tell you
- Bands, not ranks. A band is the fifth of Alberta’s schools a result falls in, averaged over the two PAT measures; suppressed groups would make places misleading.
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- The year. As the province lists them in 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. Boards are set by language and, in Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan, by faith: public or Catholic.
- Which schools count. The area is Mahogany plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
- The kinds of school. Elementary means kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary up to Grade 12 (Secondary V in Quebec); a few schools take every grade.
