What this data can and can’t tell you
- 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 year. Schools come from StatCan’s ODEF of 2019–22, so a recent opening or closure may not show.
- Boards and systems. The French-language board covers the whole province, the English districts one area each.
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around St. Andrews’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
- The kinds of school. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
