What this data can and can’t tell you
- 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. The area is Montrose plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- Bands, not ranks. The fifths are of schools, not students: a small school counts as much as a large one.
- Boards and systems. The province’s public schools are run by districts in English and a French-language board; independents run themselves.
- The year. The province’s 2025/26 list.
