What this data can and can’t tell you
- What isn’t here. Inspection reports with ratings don’t exist here, and the lists give enrolment for one year at most.
- Boards and systems. A school’s board decides its language; the province funds no separate Catholic system.
- 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. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside Swan River or within 3 km of it are here.
