What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside Electoral Area A, Kootenay Boundary or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
- The kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
- 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. BC publishes average FSA scores and graduation rates, masking small groups, so the page gives fifths, not ranks.
- The year. The open list of 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. Boards here split by language only: English districts and a French-language board.
