What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. An older list, StatCan’s ODEF of 2019–22, is used here.
- Boards and systems. The French-language board covers the whole province, the English districts one area each.
- What isn’t here. No province rates its schools by inspection, and enrolment covers one year (Ontario and Alberta only), so there is no trend.
- Which schools count. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside Atholville or within 3 km of it are here.
- The kinds of school. Grades shown are the published range, from junior kindergarten (JK) upward.
