Catholic schools
A separate (Catholic) board runs its own schools with public money and its own admission rules.

How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside Holyrood or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
- The kinds of school. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
- The year. 2025/26, the latest open list.
- Boards and systems. Each board covers a territory in one language and one system, public or Catholic; boards of different systems overlap.
- What isn’t here. Inspection reports with ratings don’t exist here, and the lists give enrolment for one year at most.
- Bands, not ranks. A suppressed result gives no band; a school with both measures averages its fifths.
