What this data can and can’t tell you
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- The year. StatCan’s ODEF (2019–22) is the open source here; it may miss new schools.
- Boards and systems. Two systems share the province, English and French, each run by its own board or district.
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside Dorchester or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
- The kinds of school. Middle and junior high schools count as secondary when they start at Grade 7 or later, elementary otherwise.
