What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Killarney and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- The kinds of school. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
- The year. The open list of 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. Public schools come under a board of one language; independent schools are run privately.
- 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. Inspection reports with ratings don’t exist here, and the lists give enrolment for one year at most.
