What this data can and can’t tell you

- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- Boards and systems. English and French, public and Catholic: the board decides the system, and the address decides the school.
- The year. The open list of 2024-25.
- The kinds of school. Kindergarten to Grade 8 is elementary, Grade 9 to 12 secondary, though the split varies by province and board.
- Which schools count. Schools inside Qualicum - Redwood and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
