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. 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. The province’s 2025/26 list.
- The kinds of school. The levels follow each school’s published grades: elementary below Grade 7 or 9, secondary above, all-grade when it runs the whole way.
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around Mission’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
