What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside Moncton or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
- The kinds of school. Schools are grouped by what they teach: elementary, secondary, every grade, and the alternative, adult and online programs.
- The year. The schools are those in ODEF, 2019–22; check with the board for any opened since.
- Boards and systems. The province’s public schools are run by districts in English and a French-language board; independents run themselves.
- What isn’t here. Inspection reports with ratings don’t exist here, and the lists give enrolment for one year at most.
