What this data can and can’t tell you
- 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.
- The year. As the province lists them in 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. English and French boards share the province, each with its own schools; there are no separate Catholic boards here.
- Which schools count. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside Ucluelet or within 3 km of it are here.
- The kinds of school. Elementary schools run from kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary ones to Grade 12; some cover every grade, and alternative, adult and online schools are listed apart.
