What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. The French-language board covers the whole province, the English districts one area each.
- The year. Schools as listed for 2025/26.
- Bands, not ranks. The fifths are of schools, not students: a small school counts as much as a large one.
- What isn’t here. No province rates its schools by inspection, and enrolment covers one year (Ontario and Alberta only), so there is no trend.
- 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. A school counts when it sits inside Crescent Heights or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
