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. A 3 km band around Tsawwassen’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
- Bands, not ranks. Fifths are worked out among every BC school with a result on that measure, then averaged per school.
- What isn’t here. Inspection reports with ratings don’t exist here, and the lists give enrolment for one year at most.
- Boards and systems. Public schools belong to English and French-language boards (or districts); independent schools run themselves.
- The year. The provincial list for 2025/26.
