How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. A school’s system is its board’s: the language it teaches in, and whether the board is public or Catholic.
- The year. The 2025/26 list.
- Bands, not ranks. Alberta publishes the share at each PAT standard and suppresses small groups, so the page gives fifths, not ranks.
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
- The kinds of school. Kindergarten to Grade 8 is elementary, Grade 9 to 12 secondary, though the split varies by province and board.
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside South Calgary or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
