How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- Bands, not ranks. A band is the fifth of BC’s schools a result falls in, averaged over the school’s measures; masked small groups would make places misleading.
- What isn’t here. What no open list gives: inspection grades, several years of enrolment, and Ontario’s private schools.
- The year. The province’s school list, 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. Each public school has a board or district, English or French; independent schools stand outside them.
- Which schools count. Schools inside Kensington-Cedar Cottage and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
- The kinds of school. Middle and junior high schools count as secondary when they start at Grade 7 or later, elementary otherwise.
