How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around Shawnessy’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
- Bands, not ranks. Each result is placed in a fifth of Alberta’s schools on the same measure; a school’s band averages its fifths. Alberta suppresses small groups, so no school is ranked to the place.
- The year. As the province lists them in 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. Public and Catholic boards are both publicly funded here, in English and in French; an independent school answers to no board.
