How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. Schools as listed for 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. A school’s system is its board’s: the language it teaches in, and whether the board is public or Catholic.
- 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. Bands compare within Alberta only: never a place in a league table.
- Which schools count. Counted: Gold Bar’s own schools and any within 3 km of its edge.
- 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.
