What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Schools are grouped by what they teach: elementary, secondary, every grade, and the alternative, adult and online programs.
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside Brentwood or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
- Bands, not ranks. Bands compare within BC only, measure by measure: never a place in a league table.
- What isn’t here. What no open list gives: inspection grades, several years of enrolment, and Ontario’s private schools.
- Boards and systems. The province’s public schools are run by districts in English and a French-language board; independents run themselves.
- The year. 2025/26, the latest open list.
