How to read this rank
Cowmunities gives equal weight to provincial PAT/diploma achievement and Alberta’s WCRSLE welcoming-school measure. Each dimension is standardized to a 0–10 scale anchored to its Alberta benchmark before blending. This is a comparison aid, not a substitute for visiting the school or confirming designation with the board.
