Inside the town there are 9; another 2 sit within 3 km. We don’t grade schools in Manitoba. The reason: the province publishes no results school by school.

The provinces’ education acts and the boards’ own admission policies; check with the board for a given address.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. The province’s public schools are run by districts in English and a French-language board; independents run themselves.
- The year. Schools come from StatCan’s ODEF of 2019–22, so a recent opening or closure may not show.
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
- The kinds of school. Elementary means kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary up to Grade 12 (Secondary V in Quebec); a few schools take every grade.
- Which schools count. Inside Steinbach’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
