How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Grades shown are the published range, from junior kindergarten (JK) upward.
- Which schools count. Counted: Richmond’s own schools and any within 3 km of its edge.
- Bands, not ranks. A masked or missing result gives no band; a school with several results averages its fifths.
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
- Boards and systems. Public schools belong to English and French-language boards (or districts); independent schools run themselves.
- The year. The province’s 2025/26 list.
