What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. As the province lists them in 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. The French-language board covers the whole province, the English districts one area each.
- 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. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- Which schools count. Inside Shaughnessy’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- The kinds of school. The kind of school is what its province lists: elementary, secondary or both.
