How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
- Which schools count. The area is West Springs plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
- Boards and systems. English and French, public and Catholic: the board decides the system, and the address decides the school.
- The year. 2025/26, the latest open list.
- Bands, not ranks. The PAT shares at the acceptable standard and at excellence are each placed by fifths among Alberta’s schools.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
