What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. As the province lists them in 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. A public school belongs to a board of one language; in Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan a board is also public or Catholic. An independent school runs itself.
- Bands, not ranks. A suppressed result gives no band; a school with both measures averages its fifths.
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
- Which schools count. Schools inside Stirling and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
- The kinds of school. Kindergarten to Grade 8 is elementary, Grade 9 to 12 secondary, though the split varies by province and board.
