What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Tuscany and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- The kinds of school. Grades shown are the published range, from junior kindergarten (JK) upward.
- 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. Ontario’s private schools aren’t in the open list; no province publishes inspection grades.
- The year. The 2025/26 list.
- Boards and systems. English and French, public and Catholic: the board decides the system, and the address decides the school.
