What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Middle and junior high schools count as secondary when they start at Grade 7 or later, elementary otherwise.
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around Marpole’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
- What isn’t here. Inspection reports with ratings don’t exist here, and the lists give enrolment for one year at most.
- 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.
- Boards and systems. Two systems share the province, English and French, each run by its own board or district.
- The year. 2025/26, the latest open list.
