What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. The 2025/26 list.
- Boards and systems. A public school belongs to a board of one language; in Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan a board is also public or Catholic. An independent school runs itself.
- Bands, not ranks. A suppressed result gives no band; a school with both measures averages its fifths.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- Which schools count. Inside Summerside’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- The kinds of school. Kindergarten to Grade 8 is elementary, Grade 9 to 12 secondary, though the split varies by province and board.
