BC Schools - Grade to Grade Transition

The Government of British Columbia provides data on the rate of student transitions from grade to grade. The dataset covers the period from the 1992/1993 to the 2025/2026 school years and includes counts disaggregated by gender and Indigenous identity. Data extracts are split into five-year increments to maintain manageable file sizes.

Use Cases

• Modeling student cohort progression over time based on grade-to-grade transition rates.
• Analyzing educational equity trends based on gender and Indigenous identity breakdowns.
• Forecasting future student enrollment based on historical transition patterns.
• Assessing the impact of policy changes on student retention across a 33-year period.

Strengths

• Covers a 33-year time range from 1992/1993 to 2025/2026, providing long-term trend analysis.
• Includes demographic breakdowns by gender and Indigenous identity.
• Data is structured into five-year increments for manageable file sizes.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
