What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Kindergarten to Grade 8 is elementary, Grade 9 to 12 secondary, though the split varies by province and board.
- Which schools count. Schools inside Fredericton and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
- Boards and systems. Boards here split by language only: English districts and a French-language board.
- The year. The schools are those in ODEF, 2019–22; check with the board for any opened since.
