What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
- Which schools count. Schools inside Stettler County No. 6 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. As the province lists them in 2025/26.
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- Bands, not ranks. The fifths are of schools, not students: a small school counts as much as a large one.
