What this data can and can’t tell you
- What isn’t here. Inspection reports with ratings don’t exist here, and the lists give enrolment for one year at most.
- Boards and systems. Two systems share the province, English and French, each run by its own board or district.
- The year. Schools come from StatCan’s ODEF of 2019–22, so a recent opening or closure may not show.
- The kinds of school. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
- Which schools count. Counted: Fortune’s own schools and any within 3 km of its edge.
