What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. The open list of 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. Public schools come under a board of one language; independent schools are run privately.
- What isn’t here. No province rates its schools by inspection, and enrolment covers one year (Ontario and Alberta only), so there is no trend.
- Bands, not ranks. FSA scores and first-time graduation are placed by fifths among BC’s schools; international fee-paying students aren’t counted.
- Which schools count. Every school inside Capilano 5’s outline or within 3 km of it, the rule used across the site.
- The kinds of school. Elementary schools run from kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary ones to Grade 12; some cover every grade, and alternative, adult and online schools are listed apart.
