What this data can and can’t tell you
- 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. A suppressed result gives no band; a school with both measures averages its fifths.
- The year. The open list of 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. Each board covers a territory in one language and one system, public or Catholic; boards of different systems overlap.
- Which schools count. Schools inside Fairview and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
- The kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
