- The year. Listed for 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. Public schools come under a board of one language; independent schools are run privately.
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around Newton’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
- 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.
