How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
- Bands, not ranks. Each result is placed in a fifth of Alberta’s schools on the same measure; a school’s band averages its fifths. Alberta suppresses small groups, so no school is ranked to the place.
- The year. The province’s school list, 2025/26.
- 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.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Wîhkwêntôwin and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- The kinds of school. Grades shown are the published range, from junior kindergarten (JK) upward.
