What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Inside Chetwynd’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- The kinds of school. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
- The year. As the province lists them in 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. English and French boards share the province, each with its own schools; there are no separate Catholic boards here.
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- Bands, not ranks. A masked or missing result gives no band; a school with several results averages its fifths.
