What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Elementary schools run from kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary ones to Grade 12; some cover every grade, and alternative, adult and online schools are listed apart.
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside Bridgwater Forest or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
- Boards and systems. Public schools come under a board of one language; independent schools are run privately.
- The year. Schools come from StatCan’s ODEF of 2019–22, so a recent opening or closure may not show.
- What isn’t here. Ontario’s private schools aren’t in the open list; no province publishes inspection grades.
