What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. A school’s board decides its language; the province funds no separate Catholic system.
- The year. Schools come from StatCan’s ODEF of 2019–22, so a recent opening or closure may not show.
- What isn’t here. What no open list gives: inspection grades, several years of enrolment, and Ontario’s private schools.
- The kinds of school. Grades shown are the published range, from junior kindergarten (JK) upward.
- Which schools count. The area is Valley Gardens plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
