What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Elementary schools run from kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary ones to Grade 12; some cover every grade, and alternative, adult and online schools are listed apart.
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around Electoral Area E (West Boundary), Kootenay Boundary’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
- Boards and systems. Public schools belong to English and French-language boards (or districts); independent schools run themselves.
- The year. The 2025/26 list.
- Bands, not ranks. Each result is placed in a fifth of BC’s schools on the same measure; a school’s band averages its fifths. BC masks small groups and counts resident students only, so no school is ranked to the place.
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
