How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Counted: Central McDougall’s own schools and any within 3 km of its edge.
- The kinds of school. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
- Bands, not ranks. Bands compare within Alberta only: never a place in a league table.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
- The year. The 2025/26 list.
- Boards and systems. Public and Catholic boards are both publicly funded here, in English and in French; an independent school answers to no board.
