What this data can and can’t tell you
- What isn’t here. What no open list gives: inspection grades, several years of enrolment, and Ontario’s private schools.
- Boards and systems. Public schools come under a board of one language; independent schools are run privately.
- The year. The open list is ODEF (2019–22), which may still show schools since closed.
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside Hillsborough or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
