What this data can and can’t tell you
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
- The year. The open list is ODEF (2019–22), which may still show schools since closed.
- Boards and systems. Two systems share the province, English and French, each run by its own board or district.
- Which schools count. The area is Botwood plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
- The kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
