What this data can and can’t tell you
- Bands, not ranks. Alberta publishes the share at each PAT standard and suppresses small groups, so the page gives fifths, not ranks.
- What isn’t here. No province rates its schools by inspection, and enrolment covers one year (Ontario and Alberta only), so there is no trend.
- The year. The open list of 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. A school’s system is its board’s: the language it teaches in, and whether the board is public or Catholic.
- Which schools count. Inside Wild Rose’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- The kinds of school. Grades shown are the published range, from junior kindergarten (JK) upward.
