What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
- Which schools count. Every school inside Pinawa’s outline or within 3 km of it, the rule used across the site.
- 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.
- Boards and systems. The French-language board covers the whole province, the English districts one area each.
- The year. ODEF, from 2019–22, is the only open list: newer schools may be missing.
