What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. Schools as listed for 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. English and French boards share the province, each with its own schools; there are no separate Catholic boards here.
- Bands, not ranks. A masked or missing result gives no band; a school with several results averages its fifths.
- What isn’t here. No province rates its schools by inspection, and enrolment covers one year (Ontario and Alberta only), so there is no trend.
- Which schools count. Schools inside Mount Pleasant and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
- The kinds of school. Kindergarten to Grade 8 is elementary, Grade 9 to 12 secondary, though the split varies by province and board.
