What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. Listed for 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. Boards here split by language only: English districts and a French-language board.
- Bands, not ranks. A band is the fifth of BC’s schools a result falls in, averaged over the school’s measures; masked small groups would make places misleading.
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
- Which schools count. Schools inside Osoyoos 1 and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
- The kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
