How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- What isn’t here. Inspection reports with ratings don’t exist here, and the lists give enrolment for one year at most.
- Bands, not ranks. Bands compare within Alberta only: never a place in a league table.
- The year. Schools as listed for 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. A public school belongs to a board of one language; in Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan a board is also public or Catholic. An independent school runs itself.
- Which schools count. The area is Ambleside plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
