What this data can and can’t tell you
- 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 2025/26 list.
- Bands, not ranks. Bands compare within Alberta only: never a place in a league table.
- What isn’t here. Inspection reports with ratings don’t exist here, and the lists give enrolment for one year at most.
- The kinds of school. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
- Which schools count. Counted: Fraser’s own schools and any within 3 km of its edge.
