What this data can and can’t tell you
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
- Boards and systems. The French-language board covers the whole province, the English districts one area each.
- The year. The schools are those in ODEF, 2019–22; check with the board for any opened since.
- 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. Schools inside Minnedosa and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
