What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Inside Sakaw’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
- Bands, not ranks. The PAT shares at the acceptable standard and at excellence are each placed by fifths among Alberta’s schools.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- The year. 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.
