What this data can and can’t tell you
- 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.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Lions Bay and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- Bands, not ranks. Top fifth means a result among the best fifth of BC’s schools on that measure; the card shows a school’s average fifth.
- What isn’t here. What no open list gives: inspection grades, several years of enrolment, and Ontario’s private schools.
- Boards and systems. Public schools come under a board of one language; independent schools are run privately.
- The year. Schools as listed for 2025/26.
