What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. The open list is ODEF (2019–22), which may still show schools since closed.
- Boards and systems. Boards here split by language only: English districts and a French-language board.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around St. Stephen’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
- The kinds of school. Kindergarten to Grade 8 is elementary, Grade 9 to 12 secondary, though the split varies by province and board.
