What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. Schools as listed for 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. The province’s public schools are run by districts in English and a French-language board; independents run themselves.
- Bands, not ranks. A band is the fifth of BC’s schools a result falls in, averaged over the school’s measures; masked small 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.
- Which schools count. Every school inside Electoral Area A, Central Kootenay’s outline or within 3 km of it, the rule used across the site.
- The kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
