What this data can and can’t tell you
- 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.
- Which schools count. Inside Cornwallis’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- Boards and systems. Public schools come under a board of one language; independent schools are run privately.
- The year. An older list, StatCan’s ODEF of 2019–22, is used here.
