Provincial exam results
How Cappy Smart School performed
Published by Alberta Education. Exam results measure one thing about a school and say nothing about class size, programs, staff or fit — and they are not a reason on their own to buy in a catchment.
Provincial Achievement Tests — 2025
Grade 6 and Grade 9 tests (regular courses; K&E excluded), all subjects combined and weighted by the number of students writing at this school (87 test writers). Ranked #308 of 319 Calgary schools with 2025 PAT results.
2025 was the first year the Grade 6 English and Math PATs used Alberta’s new curriculum. Alberta-wide, Grade 6 results dropped (English 90% to 80%, Math 77% to 61% at the acceptable standard, compared with 2023). Grade 9 results were close to past years. Compare 2025 results with other 2025 results, not with earlier years.
