What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. The area is Rexton plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
- The kinds of school. The levels follow each school’s published grades: elementary below Grade 7 or 9, secondary above, all-grade when it runs the whole way.
- The year. This province’s list is ODEF, compiled by Statistics Canada in 2019–22: a few years old.
- Boards and systems. Boards here split by language only: English districts and a French-language board.
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
