Riverview’s schools come under 11 different boards
Louis Riel School Division runs the most, 24 of them; Winnipeg School Division, Independent Schools and Pembina Trails School Division run the rest. 5 of the 82 teach in French, against 3% of schools in Manitoba. Taken together, Riverview and its 3 km edge hold 54 elementary schools, 22 secondary schools and 6 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
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside Riverview or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
- 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.
- The year. An older list, StatCan’s ODEF of 2019–22, is used here.
- Boards and systems. The province’s public schools are run by districts in English and a French-language board; independents run themselves.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
