What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Woodlands and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- The kinds of school. Grades shown are the published range, from junior kindergarten (JK) upward.
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
- The year. The list is Statistics Canada’s ODEF (2019–22): schools opened since are missing, and some closed since may still appear.
- Boards and systems. Public schools come under a board of one language; independent schools are run privately.
