What this data can and can’t tell you
- What isn’t here. Inspection reports with ratings don’t exist here, and the lists give enrolment for one year at most.
- The year. StatCan’s ODEF (2019–22) is the open source here; it may miss new schools.
- Boards and systems. Public schools belong to English and French-language boards (or districts); independent schools run themselves.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Bifrost-Riverton and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- The kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
