The methodology

The data behind this score

The Roost Rating weights AEAM above PAT, plus Roost field research, capped at 95. A missing source has its weight shared across the ones that remain, never counted as a zero. This school got 62.5% survey · 37.5% exams.

This rating comes from two independent sources: how this school’s Grade 6 students did on Alberta’s provincial exams, and the AEAM survey of parents, students, and teachers.

2.4/10Shown for comparison, but it does not affect the Roost Rating. Half of it is the average exam mark we already read ourselves, so scoring it would count one set of exams twice: why.

AEAM survey measures · Spring 2025

Each parent, student, and teacher survey measure beside the Alberta average. The verdict is Alberta Education’s own evaluation — it weighs the school’s achievement band and its own trend, so a measure can sit below the Alberta number without a concern or issue flag, or carry one while above it.
