What this data can and can’t tell you
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- Boards and systems. The province’s public schools are run by districts in English and a French-language board; independents run themselves.
- The year. StatCan’s ODEF (2019–22) is the open source here; it may miss new schools.
- The kinds of school. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
- Which schools count. Inside Riverbend’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
