- The year. The open list of 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. Boards here split by language only: English districts and a French-language board.
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside Pitt Meadows or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
- The kinds of school. Middle and junior high schools count as secondary when they start at Grade 7 or later, elementary otherwise.
