What this data can and can’t tell you
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- Boards and systems. English and French boards share the province, each with its own schools; there are no separate Catholic boards here.
- The year. StatCan’s ODEF (2019–22) is the open source here; it may miss new schools.
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
- Which schools count. Every school inside Richibucto’s outline or within 3 km of it, the rule used across the site.
