What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside Prince George or within 3 km of it are here.
- The kinds of school. Elementary schools run from kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary ones to Grade 12; some cover every grade, and alternative, adult and online schools are listed apart.
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates 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 year. The open list of 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. Two systems share the province, English and French, each run by its own board or district.
