What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. The board is the public body that runs a school; this province has English and French boards, each public or Catholic.
- The year. The provincial list for 2025/26.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
- Bands, not ranks. Alberta publishes the share at each PAT standard and suppresses small groups, so the page gives fifths, not ranks.
- The kinds of school. Grades shown are the published range, from junior kindergarten (JK) upward.
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside Walker or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
