What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. The province’s public schools are run by districts in English and a French-language board; independents run themselves.
- 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.
- The kinds of school. Kindergarten to Grade 8 is elementary, Grade 9 to 12 secondary, though the split varies by province and board.
- Which schools count. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside Saint-Joseph or within 3 km of it are here.
