French-language schools
Eligibility comes from the parents: French as a first language, or French schooling in Canada; otherwise, the board’s admissions committee decides.
Independent schools
Independent schools choose their students and charge fees, with part of their costs paid by the province when they qualify.
The neighbourhood school
Registration happens with the board, not the school; the board names the school for the address.

How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside Coquitlam or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
- The kinds of school. Each school is elementary, secondary or all-grade by the grades it teaches; alternative, adult and online programs sit in a group of their own.
- Bands, not ranks. Bands compare within BC only, measure by measure: never a place in a league table.
- What isn’t here. Inspection reports with ratings don’t exist here, and the lists give enrolment for one year at most.
- The year. The open list of 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. A school’s board decides its language; the province funds no separate Catholic system.
