What this data can and can’t tell you
- What isn’t here. No province rates its schools by inspection, and enrolment covers one year (Ontario and Alberta only), so there is no trend.
- Bands, not ranks. A masked or missing result gives no band; a school with several results averages its fifths.
- Boards and systems. The province’s public schools are run by districts in English and a French-language board; independents run themselves.
- The year. The provincial list for 2025/26.
- The kinds of school. Elementary means kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary up to Grade 12 (Secondary V in Quebec); a few schools take every grade.
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside Juan de Fuca (Part 1) or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
