What this data can and can’t tell you
- 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. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
- The year. The province’s school list, 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. Public and Catholic boards are both publicly funded here, in English and in French; an independent school answers to no board.
- Which schools count. Inside Edgemont’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- The kinds of school. Elementary means kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary up to Grade 12 (Secondary V in Quebec); a few schools take every grade.
