Ranking Alberta’s elementary schools

Important notes about the rankings

In this table, schools are ranked (on the left-hand side of the page) in descending order (from 1 to 858) 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 2018/2019. 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 was available “n/a” appears in the table.

Not all the province’s elementary schools are included in the tables or the ranking. Of all the schools in the province reporting achievement-test results, 863 are included in this Report Card. In some school districts and divisions that operate middle schools or junior high schools, the elementary schools may not enrol students in Grade 6. Since the Report Card is based on the results of tests given in Grade 6, these elementary schools cannot be included. In addition, schools at which fewer than 10 students were enrolled in either Grade 3 or Grade 6 are excluded, as are schools that did not generate a sufficiently large set of student data to enable the calculation of an Overall rating out of 10 for the school year 2018/2019.

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