How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. Public and Catholic boards are both publicly funded here, in English and in French; an independent school answers to no board.
- The year. As the province lists them in 2025/26.
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
- Bands, not ranks. The fifths are of schools, not students: a small school counts as much as a large one.
- The kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
- Which schools count. Counted: Laurel’s own schools and any within 3 km of its edge.
