What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
- Which schools count. Counted: Cloverdale’s own schools and any within 3 km of its edge.
- Boards and systems. A school’s board decides its language; the province funds no separate Catholic system.
- The year. 2025/26, the latest open list.
- 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.
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
