What this data can and can’t tell you

- The year. ODEF, from 2019–22, is the only open list: newer schools may be missing.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- The kinds of school. Each school is elementary, secondary or all-grade by the grades it teaches; alternative, adult and online programs sit in a group of their own.
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside St. Matthews or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
