What this data can and can’t tell you
- 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.
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around Sunrise Estates’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- Bands, not ranks. BC publishes average FSA scores and graduation rates, masking small groups, so the page gives fifths, not ranks.
- Boards and systems. Two systems share the province, English and French, each run by its own board or district.
- The year. The province’s 2025/26 list.
