What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Dakota Crossing and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- The kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
- The year. StatCan’s ODEF (2019–22) is the open source here; it may miss new schools.
- Boards and systems. The French-language board covers the whole province, the English districts one area each.
- What isn’t here. Ontario’s private schools aren’t in the open list; no province publishes inspection grades.
