FSA: share of students who wrote the Foundation Skills Assessment and scored on track or extending, averaged over reading and numeracy (BC Ministry of Education, 2025/2026). A test score is one measure, not the whole school: visit, and read the school page for programs, how full it is and the building's condition. Home prices: asking prices of houses and multi-family homes for sale on October 29, 2026 (REALTOR.ca, CREA DDF®); typical Penticton figure $604K.
