How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Middle and junior high schools count as secondary when they start at Grade 7 or later, elementary otherwise.
- Which schools count. The area is Canora plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
- Bands, not ranks. Top fifth means a result among the best fifth of Alberta’s schools; the card shows a school’s average fifth.
- 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 school list, 2025/26.
