- The year. The province’s 2025/26 list.
- Boards and systems. Two systems share the province, English and French, each run by its own board or district.
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside Fairview or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
- The kinds of school. Elementary means kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary up to Grade 12 (Secondary V in Quebec); a few schools take every grade.
