What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. As the province lists them in 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. Public and Catholic boards are both publicly funded here, in English and in French; an independent school answers to no board.
- 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.
- Bands, not ranks. A suppressed result gives no band; a school with both measures averages its fifths.
- Which schools count. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside Fox Creek or within 3 km of it are here.
- The kinds of school. Schools are grouped by what they teach: elementary, secondary, every grade, and the alternative, adult and online programs.
