What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. Public schools belong to English and French-language boards (or districts); independent schools run themselves.
- The year. ODEF, from 2019–22, is the only open list: newer schools may be missing.
- What isn’t here. What no open list gives: inspection grades, several years of enrolment, and Ontario’s private schools.
- 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. Schools inside Alexander and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
