What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. The open list of 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. The board is the public body that runs a school; this province has English and French boards, each public or Catholic.
- Bands, not ranks. A band is the fifth of Alberta’s schools a result falls in, averaged over the two PAT measures; suppressed groups would make places misleading.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- Which schools count. Schools inside Glenridding Heights and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
- The kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
