What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. The province’s school list, 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. English and French, public and Catholic: the board decides the system, and the address decides the school.
- 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. Ontario’s private schools aren’t in the open list; no province publishes inspection grades.
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around Skyview Ranch’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
- 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.
