How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- What isn’t here. Inspection reports with ratings don’t exist here, and the lists give enrolment for one year at most.
- Bands, not ranks. Alberta publishes the share at each PAT standard and suppresses small groups, so the page gives fifths, not ranks.
- The year. The provincial list for 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. English and French, public and Catholic: the board decides the system, and the address decides the school.
- Which schools count. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside Sweet Grass or within 3 km of it are here.
- 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.
