The Report Card on Alberta's Elementary Schools: 2007 Edition reports a variety of relevant, objective indicators of school performance. These indicators are used to calculate an overall rating for each school. On the basis of this rating, the schools are ranked. The Report Card brings all of this information together in one easily accessible public document so that anyone can analyze and compare the performance of individual schools. By doing so, the Report Card assists parents when they choose a school for their children and encourages and assists all those seeking to improve their schools.
This annual Report Card uses relevant, publicly-available data to rate and rank 705 of Alberta's public, separate, private, charter, and francophone elementary schools. This is the only comprehensive and widely-distributed Report Card on elementary schools available in Canada.
