How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Middle and junior high schools count as secondary when they start at Grade 7 or later, elementary otherwise.
- Which schools count. Every school inside Parkland’s outline or within 3 km of it, the rule used across the site.
- Boards and systems. English and French, public and Catholic: the board decides the system, and the address decides the school.
- The year. As the province lists them in 2025/26.
- 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. What no open list gives: inspection grades, several years of enrolment, and Ontario’s private schools.
