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. Counted: Chase’s own schools and any within 3 km of its edge.
- Bands, not ranks. Bands compare within BC only, measure by measure: never a place in a league table.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
- Boards and systems. English and French boards share the province, each with its own schools; there are no separate Catholic boards here.
- The year. 2025/26, the latest open list.
