Fees and admissions are each independent school’s own; the province covers a share of costs for those that meet its rules.
French-language schools
A child qualifies for a French-language school when a parent’s first language is French or a parent went to French school in Canada; an admissions committee can admit others.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Inside Signal Hill’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- The kinds of school. Each school is elementary, secondary or all-grade by the grades it teaches; alternative, adult and online programs sit in a group of their own.
- The year. The province’s 2025/26 list.
- Boards and systems. A school’s system is its board’s: the language it teaches in, and whether the board is public or Catholic.
- Bands, not ranks. Top fifth means a result among the best fifth of Alberta’s schools; the card shows a school’s average fifth.
- What isn’t here. Ontario’s private schools aren’t in the open list; no province publishes inspection grades.
