What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. English and French boards share the province, each with its own schools; there are no separate Catholic boards here.
- The year. The 2025/26 list.
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
- Bands, not ranks. BC publishes average FSA scores and graduation rates, masking small groups, so the page gives fifths, not ranks.
- 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. The page takes in schools within Electoral Area A, Metro Vancouver and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
