What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. The province’s school list, 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. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- Which schools count. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside East Saanich 2 or within 3 km of it are here.
- The kinds of school. The levels follow each school’s published grades: elementary below Grade 7 or 9, secondary above, all-grade when it runs the whole way.
