What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around Alloa’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
- The kinds of school. The levels follow each school’s published grades: elementary below Grade 7 or 9, secondary above, all-grade when it runs the whole way.
- Bands, not ranks. The fifths are of schools, not students: a small school counts as much as a large one.
- 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.
- The year. The 2024-25 list.
- Boards and systems. A school’s system is its board’s: the language it teaches in, and whether the board is public or Catholic.
