What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. The French-language board covers the whole province, the English districts one area each.
- The year. The open list is ODEF (2019–22), which may still show schools since closed.
- What isn’t here. No province rates its schools by inspection, and enrolment covers one year (Ontario and Alberta only), so there is no trend.
- The kinds of school. Middle and junior high schools count as secondary when they start at Grade 7 or later, elementary otherwise.
- Which schools count. The area is Gillam plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
