What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Grades shown are the published range, from junior kindergarten (JK) upward.
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside Oxford or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
- 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 2025/26 list.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
- Bands, not ranks. A suppressed result gives no band; a school with both measures averages its fifths.
