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. As the province lists them in 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. The province’s public schools are run by districts in English and a French-language board; independents run themselves.
- Which schools count. Inside Skowkale’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- 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.
