What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
- Which schools count. Every school inside Bishop's Falls’s outline or within 3 km of it, the rule used across the site.
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
- Boards and systems. A school’s board decides its language; the province funds no separate Catholic system.
- The year. Statistics Canada’s ODEF, 2019–22: the latest open list for this province.
