What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. Each public school has a board or district, English or French; independent schools stand outside them.
- The year. Statistics Canada’s ODEF, 2019–22: the latest open list for this province.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- The kinds of school. Elementary means kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary up to Grade 12 (Secondary V in Quebec); a few schools take every grade.
- Which schools count. Counted: Southampton’s own schools and any within 3 km of its edge.
