What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around Russell’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
- The kinds of school. Grades shown are the published range, from junior kindergarten (JK) upward.
- The year. The open list is ODEF (2019–22), which may still show schools since closed.
- Boards and systems. The province’s public schools are run by districts in English and a French-language board; independents run themselves.
- 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.
