What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. Each public school has a board or district, English or French; independent schools stand outside them.
- The year. Listed for 2025/26.
- What isn’t here. What no open list gives: inspection grades, several years of enrolment, and Ontario’s private schools.
- 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.
- The kinds of school. Schools are grouped by what they teach: elementary, secondary, every grade, and the alternative, adult and online programs.
- Which schools count. Schools inside Peachland and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
