What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Counted: Surrey Centre’s own schools and any within 3 km of its edge.
- The kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
- Bands, not ranks. FSA scores and first-time graduation are placed by fifths among BC’s schools; international fee-paying students aren’t counted.
- What isn’t here. Ontario’s private schools aren’t in the open list; no province publishes inspection grades.
- The year. Schools as listed for 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. Two systems share the province, English and French, each run by its own board or district.
