- What isn’t here. What no open list gives: inspection grades, several years of enrolment, and Ontario’s private schools.
- Bands, not ranks. Bands compare within BC only, measure by measure: never a place in a league table.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Electoral Area D, qathet and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- The kinds of school. The levels follow each school’s published grades: elementary below Grade 7 or 9, secondary above, all-grade when it runs the whole way.
