How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. A school’s system is its board’s: the language it teaches in, and whether the board is public or Catholic.
- The year. The provincial list for 2025/26.
- Bands, not ranks. Alberta publishes the share at each PAT standard and suppresses small groups, so the page gives fifths, not ranks.
- 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. The kind of school is what its province lists: elementary, secondary or both.
- Which schools count. Schools inside MacEwan and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
