How to read these numbers

What this data can and can’t tell you

  • What isn’t here. What no open list gives: inspection grades, several years of enrolment, and Ontario’s private schools.
  • Bands, not ranks. A suppressed result gives no band; a school with both measures averages its fifths.
  • The year. The province’s 2025/26 list.
  • Boards and systems. English and French, public and Catholic: the board decides the system, and the address decides the school.
  • Which schools count. Every school inside Carrington’s outline or within 3 km of it, the rule used across the site.
  • The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
