What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. A public school belongs to a board of one language; in Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan a board is also public or Catholic. An independent school runs itself.
- The year. Listed for 2024-25.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- Bands, not ranks. The fifths are of schools, not students: a small school counts as much as a large one.
- The kinds of school. Grades shown are the published range, from junior kindergarten (JK) upward.
- Which schools count. Counted: Beaverton’s own schools and any within 3 km of its edge.
