What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
- Which schools count. The area is Kingsclear plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
- 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.
- Boards and systems. The province’s public schools are run by districts in English and a French-language board; independents run themselves.
- The year. Statistics Canada’s ODEF, 2019–22: the latest open list for this province.
