What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. English and French, public and Catholic: the board decides the system, and the address decides the school.
- The year. As the province lists them in 2024-25.
- Bands, not ranks. A school with no reported result has no band; one with several averages its fifths.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- The kinds of school. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
- Which schools count. The area is Springdale plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
