- Which schools count. Counted: Island Lakes’s own schools and any within 3 km of its edge.
- Boards and systems. English and French boards share the province, each with its own schools; there are no separate Catholic boards here.
- The year. ODEF, from 2019–22, is the only open list: newer schools may be missing.
- What isn’t here. Inspection reports with ratings don’t exist here, and the lists give enrolment for one year at most.
