What this data can and can’t tell you
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
- Bands, not ranks. Bands compare within BC only, measure by measure: never a place in a league table.
- The year. The open list of 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. Public schools come under a board of one language; independent schools are run privately.
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around Port Coquitlam’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
- The kinds of school. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
