What this data can and can’t tell you
- Bands, not ranks. BC publishes average FSA scores and graduation rates, masking small groups, so the page gives fifths, not ranks.
- 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.
- The year. As the province lists them in 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. Two systems share the province, English and French, each run by its own board or district.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Langley and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- 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.
