How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- What isn’t here. Inspection reports with ratings don’t exist here, and the lists give enrolment for one year at most.
- Bands, not ranks. Alberta publishes the share at each PAT standard and suppresses small groups, so the page gives fifths, not ranks.
- The year. The province’s school list, 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. English and French, public and Catholic: the board decides the system, and the address decides the school.
- Which schools count. Counted: McKenzie Lake’s own schools and any within 3 km of its edge.
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
