How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Schools inside Homesteader and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
- 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.
- Bands, not ranks. A suppressed result gives no band; a school with both measures averages its fifths.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
- The year. The 2025/26 list.
- Boards and systems. Every public school has a board: English or French, and in this province public or Catholic too. Independent schools have none.
