How to read these numbers

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.
