What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Inside Silverado’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- The kinds of school. The kind of school is what its province lists: elementary, secondary or both.
- The year. 2025/26, the latest open list.
- Boards and systems. English and French, public and Catholic: the board decides the system, and the address decides the school.
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
- 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.
