What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Inside Flagstaff County’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- The kinds of school. Schools are grouped by what they teach: elementary, secondary, every grade, and the alternative, adult and online programs.
- Bands, not ranks. The fifths are of schools, not students: a small school counts as much as a large one.
- What isn’t here. What no open list gives: inspection grades, several years of enrolment, and Ontario’s private schools.
- The year. Listed for 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. English and French, public and Catholic: the board decides the system, and the address decides the school.
