How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- Bands, not ranks. A suppressed result gives no band; a school with both measures averages its fifths.
- What isn’t here. Inspection reports with ratings don’t exist here, and the lists give enrolment for one year at most.
- Boards and systems. The board is the public body that runs a school; this province has English and French boards, each public or Catholic.
- The year. The province’s school list, 2025/26.
- The kinds of school. Elementary means kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary up to Grade 12 (Secondary V in Quebec); a few schools take every grade.
- Which schools count. Every school inside Evanston’s outline or within 3 km of it, the rule used across the site.
