How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
- Which schools count. Every school inside Beacon Heights’s outline or within 3 km of it, the rule used across the site.
- Boards and systems. Public and Catholic boards are both publicly funded here, in English and in French; an independent school answers to no board.
- 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. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
