How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Elementary schools run from kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary ones to Grade 12; some cover every grade, and alternative, adult and online schools are listed apart.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Upper Mount Royal and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- Boards and systems. English and French, public and Catholic: the board decides the system, and the address decides the school.
- The year. The province’s 2025/26 list.
- Bands, not ranks. Bands compare within Alberta only: never a place in a league table.
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
