How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. Every public school has a board: English or French, and in this province public or Catholic too. Independent schools have none.
- The year. 2025/26, the latest open list.
- Bands, not ranks. A suppressed result gives no band; a school with both measures averages its fifths.
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
- 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.
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside Sandstone Valley or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
