How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. As the province lists them in 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. Every public school has a board: English or French, and in this province public or Catholic too. Independent schools have none.
- Bands, not ranks. A suppressed result gives no band; a school with both measures averages its fifths.
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
- Which schools count. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside Tamarack or within 3 km of it are here.
- The kinds of school. The levels follow each school’s published grades: elementary below Grade 7 or 9, secondary above, all-grade when it runs the whole way.
