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 is rated entirely on exams.

This rating comes from one test: how this school’s Grade 6 students did on Alberta’s provincial exams. We have no survey of parents, students, and teachers for this school, and its absence does not count against the score. A test-only rating does track neighbourhood income more closely than one with survey results behind it, so ask the school what the exams do not show.

Fraser (not scored)

4.4/10Shown 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.

Context

This letter in context

Letters held by the 20 CCSD elementary schools closest to this school on the two figures below (not on ratings, and not necessarily nearby):

1 rated A+ (Very strong)
7 rated A (Strong)
8 rated B (Solid)
2 rated C (Fair)
2 rated D (Developing)

Across CCSD elementary schools, these two figures line up with about 30% of the differences in Roost Ratings between schools. The rest is not explained by them.

Based on the 2021 Census: the share of children in low-income households (2020 incomes) and the share of adults aged 25 to 64 with no certificate, diploma or degree, for the people living in each school's designated area (its catchment). That describes who lives nearby, not who enrols, and the two can differ.

Context only: it does not change St. Monica School's letter.

Classes and enrolment

Typical class size

K to Grade 3: 22Typical for these grades across CCSD schools: 24.5from 28 classes
Grades 4 to 6: 26Typical for these grades across CCSD schools: 27.8from 23 classesNot counted above: 2 classes with fewer than 10 students (Alberta does not publish their sizes).
Grades 7 to 9: 25Typical for these grades across CCSD schools: 26.8from 52 classesNot counted above: 4 classes with fewer than 10 students (Alberta does not publish their sizes).

Each figure is the middle class size in those grades for 2025/26, among the classes whose sizes are published. A class is one teacher with one group of students, so a group with several teachers counts once per teacher, and in junior and senior high each course section counts. The CCSD figure is the middle of every CCSD school's own figure for those grades, across Alberta's release.

Students enrolled

424 students in 2025/26 (preliminary)

Enrolment moves with boundary changes, new schools nearby, the grades a school offers and how many children live close by. Most schools here had fewer students in 2020/21, the first school year of the pandemic.

Context only: these describe the school's situation, not how well it teaches, and neither is part of the Roost Rating.
