Photo: Amakuha · CC BY 4.04 school boards share River East
Most belong to River East Transcona School Division (15); Seven Oaks School Division, Independent Schools and Institutional Schools run the remainder. Counting a 3 km margin, River East has 18 elementary schools, 3 secondary schools and 2 schools for every grade. We don’t grade schools in Manitoba. The reason: the province publishes no results school by school.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- 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. A school counts when it sits inside River East or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
- What isn’t here. No province rates its schools by inspection, and enrolment covers one year (Ontario and Alberta only), so there is no trend.
- Boards and systems. Public schools belong to English and French-language boards (or districts); independent schools run themselves.
- The year. ODEF, from 2019–22, is the only open list: newer schools may be missing.
