What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
- Which schools count. Schools inside Provost and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
- Boards and systems. The board is the public body that runs a school; this province has English and French boards, each public or Catholic.
- The year. The open list of 2025/26.
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
- Bands, not ranks. The PAT shares at the acceptable standard and at excellence are each placed by fifths among Alberta’s schools.
