What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Elementary schools run from kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary ones to Grade 12; some cover every grade, and alternative, adult and online schools are listed apart.
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around Clayton Heights’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
- Boards and systems. The French-language board covers the whole province, the English districts one area each.
- The year. As the province lists them in 2025/26.
- Bands, not ranks. A masked or missing result gives no band; a school with several results averages its fifths.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
