What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. Public schools come under a board of one language; independent schools are run privately.
- The year. The province’s school list, 2025/26.
- Bands, not ranks. Bands compare within BC only, measure by measure: never a place in a league table.
- What isn’t here. What no open list gives: inspection grades, several years of enrolment, and Ontario’s private schools.
- The kinds of school. The kind of school is what its province lists: elementary, secondary or both.
- Which schools count. Inside Mackenzie’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
