Ranking Alberta’s high schools

Important notes about the rankings

In )his table, schools are ranked (on the left hand side of the page) in descending order (from 1 to 259) according to their academic performance as measured by the Overall rating out of 10 (shown on the right hand side of the table) for the school year 2016/2017. Each school’s five-year average ranking and Overall rating out of 10 are also listed. The higher the overall rating (out of 10), the higher the rank awarded to the school. Where schools tied in the overall rating, they were awarded the same rank. Where less than five years of data were available, “n/a” appears in the table.

Not all the province’s high schools are included in the tables or the ranking. Excluded are schools at which fewer than 10 regular day students were enrolled in Grade 12 and schools that did not generate a sufficiently large set of student data to enable the calculation of an Overall rating out of 10. Also excluded from the ratings and rankings are: centres for adult education and continuing education; schools that cater largely to non-resident foreign students; and certain alternative schools that do not offer a full program of courses.

The exclusion of a school from the Report Card should in no way be construed as a judgment of the school’s effectiveness.
