What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Grades shown are the published range, from junior kindergarten (JK) upward.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Kerrisdale and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- 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. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- Boards and systems. A school’s board decides its language; the province funds no separate Catholic system.
- The year. The provincial list for 2025/26.
