What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. Listed for 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. The board is the public body that runs a school; this province has English and French boards, each public or Catholic.
- Bands, not ranks. A suppressed result gives no band; a school with both measures averages its fifths.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
- Which schools count. The area is Provost No. 52 plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
- The kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
