How to read this ranking
Size is not quality. A large school may suit one child and not another, and enrolment says nothing about class size, teaching or admissions.
This is not a list of the “best” schools, and WikiSchools does not rate schools. It orders one reported number so you can see where a school sits among its neighbours, then check the rest yourself. Fees, admissions, facilities and current board affiliation are not in this data — confirm them with the school.
