What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Revelstoke and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- The kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
- What isn’t here. What no open list gives: inspection grades, several years of enrolment, and Ontario’s private schools.
- Bands, not ranks. FSA scores and first-time graduation are placed by fifths among BC’s schools; international fee-paying students aren’t counted.
- The year. The province’s 2025/26 list.
- Boards and systems. Public schools come under a board of one language; independent schools are run privately.
