What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. Schools as listed for 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. Public schools come under a board of one language; independent schools are run privately.
- What isn’t here. Inspection reports with ratings don’t exist here, and the lists give enrolment for one year at most.
- Bands, not ranks. The fifths are of schools, not students: a small school counts as much as a large one.
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around Lumby’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
- The kinds of school. Each school is elementary, secondary or all-grade by the grades it teaches; alternative, adult and online programs sit in a group of their own.
