What this data can and can’t tell you
- Bands, not ranks. A band is the fifth of Alberta’s schools a result falls in, averaged over the two PAT measures; suppressed groups would make places misleading.
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
- The year. As the province lists them in 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. Boards are set by language and, in Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan, by faith: public or Catholic.
- Which schools count. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside Wembley or within 3 km of it are here.
- The kinds of school. The kind of school is what its province lists: elementary, secondary or both.
