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. Schools inside Moncton and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
- Boards and systems. The French-language board covers the whole province, the English districts one area each.
- The year. The open list is ODEF (2019–22), which may still show schools since closed.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
