What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. The province’s 2025/26 list.
- Boards and systems. A school’s board decides its language; the province funds no separate Catholic system.
- Bands, not ranks. Top fifth means a result among the best fifth of BC’s schools on that measure; the card shows a school’s average fifth.
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
- Which schools count. Every school inside Taylor’s outline or within 3 km of it, the rule used across the site.
- The kinds of school. Middle and junior high schools count as secondary when they start at Grade 7 or later, elementary otherwise.
